BRATISLAVA, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Parliamentary chairpersons of the European Parliament (EP) will discuss the future of the post-Brexit EU, EP President Martin Schulz said Friday.
"After the Bratislava summit of EU leaders, it's important for parliamentary chairpersons to discuss the future of the EU after Britain's decision to leave the union," stated Schulz.
National parliaments and the EP complement each other and don't stand against each other, he added.
Meanwhile, Slovak parliamentary chairman Andrej Danko said Friday's summit in its non-standard unofficial format "has paid off."
"We have found support from almost all EU countries. This meeting precedes the conference of European parliaments that Bratislava will host in April, which is expected to result in the declaration of a joint procedure of national parliaments," he added.
Danko said it was important for the EU to focus on projects such as Schengen, the eurozone and its joint defense.
