Thorbjørn Jagland: Results of UK referendum must be respected
The Secretary General of the Council of Europe has expressed his opinion on the UK referendum. “The democratic decision in this referendum must be respected. The best way forward now is for the EU, in accordance with its best traditions, to work together with the UK government to obtain the most acceptable outcome for the citizens of the UK and Europe. Everybody should now focus on what unites our family of European nations; democracy, human rights and the rule of law,” Thorbjørn Jagland said. We remind that the UK has voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union after 43 years in an historic referendum. This was a historic decision that is expected to reshape the nation's place in the world.
