EU Expects UK to Formally Declare Brexit Before Discussing Future Relations
MOSCOW (Sputnik) A European Council meeting is due to be held on June 28-29, where the United Kingdom's Brexit referendum will become the chief topic of discussion.

"It is necessary that there is a notification by the country of its intention to leave. So a request to [UK Prime Minister David Cameron] must be made to do this quickly because there is no reason to prolong the uncertainty," Moscovici said, as quoted by French media.

The United Kingdom is required to submit a formal notification of leaving the bloc under Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
