MOSCOW (Sputnik) — UK Prime Minister Cameron is seeking to renegotiate his country's EU membership and has pledged to hold a referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the bloc, referred to as an in/out vote, no later than by the end of 2017.
"This is a critical moment. Risk of break-up is real as #UKinEU negotiations very fragile. Handle with care. What is broken cannot be mended," Tusk wrote in his Twitter.

The UK leader has outlined four demands to the European Union, including shifting power away from Brussels back to the UK national legislature, exempting Britain from the EU "superstate" principle, denouncing the euro as a single official EU currency, and protecting the UK economy by keeping eurozone members away from the non-eurozone countries’ affairs.
