Summary:
Minister for Foreign Affairs Timo Soini estimates that negotiations between Britain and the EU will be difficult but hopes that a mutually satisfactory solution will be found. He does not believe other member states will follow Britain’s lead in the near future. Mr Soini points out that it is pretty easy for a member state to announce that they are leaving but actually leaving is not a quick process.
