The European Union and the United Kingdom must maintain dialogue to carry out the British exit process, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Saturday.

Six European Foreign Ministers Meeting On Brexit Kicks Off in Berlin
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The meeting between German, French, Italian, Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourgian foreign ministers to discuss the results of the UK referendum on EU membership is taking place in the Berlin's Borsig Palace on Saturday.

"Not all the answers regarding the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union are lying in the open, it all depends on how closely we will listen to each other," Steinmeier told journalists at the meeting with foreign ministers of France, Italy and Benelux.

He added that the European Union is a "successful project of peace and stability" and it is important to give a signal that it will not be abandoned.

On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
