Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz believes that it is possible, if necessary, to postpone Great Britain's exit from the European Union for a few months.
"If it is necessary, we must give Great Britain more time and move the withdrawal date. If the British propose a good plan, it is possible to delay the withdrawal date for a couple of months," Kurz told the Vienna daily Estereich..
In connection with the announced Plan B of the British Prime Minister Theresa May, Kurtz said that he hopes that this plan will finally clarify things regarding the future plans of Great Britain, reports Tanjug.
"I hope that this plan can avoid the withdrawal (of Great Britain from the EU) without an agreement," Kurz added, assessing, however, that a "hard" Brexit, that is, the exit of Britain from the EU without an agreement, is more certain.
When asked whether the British should remain in the EU, Kurtz replied that he would like Great Britain to remain.
"The EU will be weakened by the withdrawal of Great Britain, economically, politically and security-politically," said Kurz.
He emphasized that Austria is well prepared for all scenarios.
According to him, all the ministries have been preparing for months and under the leadership of Minister Gernot Blimel have created a detailed plan, thus preparing for Brexit without an agreement.
"However, Brexit without an agreement means uncertainty for the economy, which no one wants," Kurc is convinced.
