Merkel: no countries will follow UK out of EU
By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel does not think other countries will follow the UK's example of leaving the European Union, she said in an interview published on Thursday by Passauer Neue Presse. "Individual member states of course have different ideas about how we shape the future, but the overall way forward is clear: more cooperation", she said. Her comment comes days after EU commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said the same.
