MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier this week, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that London would not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty on leaving the European Union till the end of 2016.
"Poland does not pressure on the United Kingdom on the issue of immediate invoking of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, as we fully respect the political and legal situation in the United Kingdom… We do not want the period of uncertainty to be extended, though, first of all, we believe that this process [Brexit] should be well prepared and carried out properly," Szydlo said as quoted by the PAP news agency on Thursday.
On June 23, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
