The Brexit process was dwelt upon in talks between Prime
Minister Joseph Muscat and the Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković. Prime
Minister Muscat said that the twenty-seven
member states should reaffirm their unity within the European Union in as much
as they should defend EU principles. He also referred to the work which needs
to be done together regarding the negotiating guidelines for Brexit. Dr Muscat
said that the treatment of
citizens should be a priority so that people on both sides will not be used as
pawns.
The first draft will be discussed this week during a
visit to Malta by the President of the European Council Donald Tusk. The
Croatian Prime Minister called the triggering of Article 50 an unfortunate happening for
Europe. Prime Minister Plenković said that although Croatia will be among the
least hit with the UK’s departure from the EU, the country still believes that it is sombre news and that the real consequences will be
known at a later stage
after the Brexit negotiations.
