MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Greek Foreign Ministry is setting up a working panel to examine the consequences of the Brexit vote on the country's economy and Greek nationals residing in Britain, local media reported on Saturday.
According to Ekathimerini daily, the panel will comprise ministry officials, academics and diplomats and is expected to start its work after August 15.
It will be tasked with determining possible repercussions for Greece of the UK decision to leave the bloc, and ways to mitigate the impact of Brexit on the country's economy, notably on tourism, the media outlet added.
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.
