The European Union will remain united and will follow a common approach in the Brexit talks. This is what President Rumen Radev told journalists in Brussels. The Bulgarian Head of State is representing our country in the European Council meeting, where the political guidelines for conducting the negotiations on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU were adopted. President Radev called on for guaranteeing, within the talks, the preservation of the rights of 4,5 million European citizens who live and work in Great Britain, and also of the Britons in the EU.
