Juncker stressed Brussels respected the democratic vote of the British people to leave the EU, adding that he did not hide the fact that he was saddened by the result. ‘We cannot prolong the uncertainty’ he added, referring to the procedures of Britain’s official exit from the union. ‘The British vote cut off one of our sides’, adding that despite this setback those concerned about the purse of the EU should be reassured that. ‘We must move forward on all our common goals with a renewed optimism’, he said. The head of the EC stressed that he would fight for the vision of the EU for a peaceful continent.
