Kiska: EU Suffers Injury from Brexit

Bratislava, June 24 (TASR) – Slovak President Andrej Kiska respects the will of British people, who in Thursday’s referendum decided that their country should leave the EU, even though he feels sorry about it, Kiska’s communication department head Roman Krpelan told TASR on Friday.

“It’s a decision and the will of British people that must be respected. I’m personally sorry for this, but history hasn’t come to a standstill, it goes on,” said Kiska, according to Krpelan.
