European Council session with a Brexit deal

European Council session with a Brexit deal

Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) is attending the European Council summit in Brussels, which is dominated by Brexit talks. On Thursday, European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker announced that the deal proposed by the British PM Boris Johnson was "a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK" and recommended that the European Council support it. At the same time, the British PM Boris Johnson suffered a major blow shortly ahead of the crucial European Council summit, when the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party did not support his Brexit plan. The plan still needs to be greenlighted by the British parliament. According to the Slovak PM Pellegrini, Slovakia will be in favor of a proposal that would either delay Brexit or even prevent it. Other topics of the European Council summit should include EU enlargement, climate change and relations with Turkey.
