“I exchanged with Boris Johnson opinions about Brexit and future of the Trans-Atlantic relations.”

According to Mikser, Johnson confirmed that the United Kingdom was going to "remain in Europe" and to continue its active participation in ensuring European security.

“It is also important that the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, does want its dissolution and does not set Brexit as an example for any other country,” Mikser added.
