VIENNA – The outcome of the UK’s EU referendum must not and will not stop the EU enlargement process, EU Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn said in Vienna on Friday.The EU is still committed to the enlargement, there is no doubt about it – we are continuing the work that we have started, which is “by far not complete,” Hahn said at a conference on public administration as a foundation of European integration.
A lot has been achieved in the Balkans in the past couple of years and we should not become “tired or desperate” after Thursday’s referendum in the UK, he said.
