The European Union and the U.K. shouldn’t erect walls or hold back cooperation because of Brexit as future partnership is vital to both parties, Romania’s EU affairs minister said.
With U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May ready to officially start the process to leave the bloc on March 29, Romania -- which has one of the largest communities currently living in Britain -- has defined three key priorities for negotiations, Ana Birchall said in an interview in Bucharest.
