Zeman: Bexit disaster for both EU, Britain

Britain's departure from the EU means a 15-percent decline in the Czech budget revenues, President Milos Zeman said at a press conference after meeting his Croat counterpart Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic today, adding that Brexit is a disaster not only for the EU but also for Britain. Nonetheless, Zeman said he is not an advocate of an immediate repetition of the Brexit referendum in Britain. Kitarovic said it would be best if the British decision on the departure from the EU had never occurred, but she respects the British people's view and hopes that Brexit will take place based on a deal.
