Tusk on Brexit: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, said on Friday morning after the official results of the Brexit referendum were announced that EU leaders are determined to keep the unity of the EU. "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger," Tusk told reporters in a statement. "I want to reassure everyone that we are prepared also for this negative scenario," he said. "Today, on behalf of the 27 leaders I can say that we are determined to keep our unity as 27," Tusk added. The Polish politician announced that an informal meeting of the 27 countries will be held in the margins of the European Council summit next week. "All the procedures for the withdrawal of the UK from the EU are clear and set out in the treaties," Tusk concluded.
