Brussels to delay decision on Brexit extension until after weekend, says EU source
Brussels has delayed its decision on a Brexit extension, an EU source told Euronews, adding the agreement will likely be decided upon next Monday or Tuesday.
At their meeting on Friday morning, EU envoys to Brussels agreed on the need for an extension but work will continue over the weekend to finalise the agreement, the source said.
"There was full agreement on the need for an extension and there was full agreement to reach a unanimous, consensual EU27 decision."
It comes as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to push for a snap general election on Monday, amid ongoing deadlock over getting his Brexit deal approved by British MPs.
The source reminds that Johnson on Thursday announced he would challenge UK MPs to a snap general election. They are set to vote on a motion for a December 12 poll on Monday.
