Withdrawal from the European Union

As "Index" reports, referring to Sunday Times, the delay would be "fungible" meaning that Britain could leave earlier, on the 1st or 15th of November, December or February, if his deal is ratified before the extension ends, Sunday Times writes, referring to diplomatic sources.

The UK has formally called for another postponement of Brexit. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was forced to send a letter to the European Council.

Johnson, however, did not personally sign the letter officially requesting an extension. The prime minister, in a separate letter to Tusk, made clear that he personally opposes such an extension.

The well-known compromise that Boris Johnson reached with the EU reminds us of the Greek case.

That includes a proud negotiation, the degradation of Parliament, national divisions, the targeting of those opposed to his plans, and then a final compromise.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent an "unsigned" letter to the EU on Oct. 19 evening to request an extension to the current Brexit deadline of Oct. 31.

Britain will leave the EU on October 31, even if the Brexit agreement is rejected by the deputies, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, quoted by BTA.

"We will leave the EU on October 31," Johnson said ahead of tomorrow's vote on the agreement in the British Parliament. He assured that the agreement negotiated with the EU provides the best way out of the Brexit crisis.

President Klaus Iohannis maintained, in Brussels, on the occasion of the meeting of the European Council, the necessity of adopting without delay the decision to open accession negotiations with Albania and the Republic of North Macedonia, mentioning that a positive decision in this sense would have a strategic significance for the region.

EU leaders have failed to agree to launch accession talks with northern Macedonia and Albania. A major opponent of this idea is French President President Emmanuel Macron. He urges the Community to reform its membership rules before the accession of new Member States.

European leaders have unanimously endorsed the Brexit deal, formally sending it to the British Parliament for ratification.

The European Council president's office announced in a tweet that the leaders had endorsed a statement on Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.

The British television "Sky" is launching a new channel without news of Brexit, Reuters and France Press reported.

Three years after the start of the crisis with the UK's exit from the European Union, the television believes that some viewers are so fed up with the divorce drama that there is a market for a news channel that has nothing to do with Brexit.

President Klaus Iohannis will be attending a meeting of the European Council in Brussels, October 17-18.
