Brexit not good for EU, Britain: Slovenian FM

Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) is not good for the EU or Britain, Slovenian Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec reiterated on Wednesday after Britain triggered the process by sending a notification letter to the EU.

Erjavec announced that he would meet British Ambassador to Slovenia Sophie Honey at the Foreign Ministry this afternoon to exchange views on how Britain sees its departure from the EU and its future cooperation with the bloc.

He said Brexit would not affect much Slovenians in London and Slovenian-British economic cooperation, according to the Slovenian Press Agency (STA).

British ambassador to the EU on Wednesday noon delivered the Brexit notification letter to European Council President Donald Tusk, officially triggering the process of Britain's exit from the EU.

The STA report says the move makes Britain the first country ever to seek leaving from the bloc in the EU's 60-year history. Endit
