UK exit would lead to debate on Czechs leaving EU, says Sobotka

If the UK leaves the European Union there will be a similar debate in the Czech Republic in a couple of years, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said on Tuesday. He warned against Czechs quitting the bloc, which he said would leave the Czech Republic once again in Russia’s sphere of influence; that would be an absolute negation of developments in this country since 1989, he said. British voters are due to go to the polls in a referendum on whether to remain in the EU in June.
