BRATISLAVA, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Brexit won't be high on the agenda of the European Union (EU) informal summit to take place here on Friday, according to several Slovak experts.
Bratislava will host the leaders of all EU-member states excluding British Prime Minister Theresa May.
"British political membership is a dead matter now, despite the fact that Britain will still be technically working in the EU for some years to come. The summit will present a discussion between the remaining 27 member states about what Union are we in," noted Vladimir Bilcik of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association.
Political analyst Juraj Hrabko said it was logical Britain wasn't taking part in the summit.
"The remaining 27 EU countries adopted a declaration on holding the event shortly after the Brexit referendum in late June, when everyone was expecting that the process of Britain's exit from the EU would be rather swift," explained Hrabko.
According to former Slovak Finance Minister Ivan Miklos, it appears Brexit supporters didn't have any strategy.
"Brexit won't be resolved during the Slovak presidency and will linger throughout the next few presidencies as well," stressed Miklos.
