| Slovak presidency: All about Brexit? |
| Bratislava, 28.06.2016 |

| Talks about any other issue “will be in the shadow of the fact that the UK is leaving the EU and we still don’t know how it will be done and how the EU will look like in the future”, analyst says.
It turns out Slovakia’s presidency over the EU Council will not be a first-ever only for Slovakia, but for the whole union in a way. For the first time in its history, the EU will be dealing with the departure of one of its members.
“No other presiding country has ever faced such a tough task,” reads the official statement of the coalition Most-Híd party, in which it reacted to the results of the Brexit referendum which set the UK on a path out of the EU.
Slovak politicians spoke in unison that they respect the decision of the British voters, but most of them deemed it regrettable.
Only anti-system parties rejoiced the results of the British vote, with the Communist Party of Slovakia and the far-right People’s Party Our Slovakia suggesting they might attempt for a similar referendum in Slovakia. Analysts, however, do not expect such an initiative to meet with any success, despite the fact that eurosceptic moods have been on the rise in Slovakia too.
Presidency’s top topic
Although it is going to top the agenda of the EU in the coming months or even years, Brexit is not the only thing that Slovakia will be dealing with as a presiding country. The EU must continue functioning and deal with the issues that it has on the table at the moment, including the migration crisis but also the priorities of the Slovak presidency, Radovan Geist, publisher of the Euractiv.sk portal, said.
