MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A European Council meeting is due to be held on June 28-29, where the United Kingdom's Brexit referendum will become the chief topic of discussion.
"It is necessary that there is a notification by the country of its intention to leave. So a request to [UK Prime Minister David Cameron] must be made to do this quickly because there is no reason to prolong the uncertainty," Moscovici said, as quoted by French media.
The United Kingdom is required to submit a formal notification of leaving the bloc under Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
