PM says he will push for protection of rights, legal and economic continuity at upcoming summit

Czech priorities at the upcoming extraordinary EU summit on Brexit include the protection of rights of Czechs living and working in Great Britain and Czech companies operating on British soil, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka has revealed. His mandate was backed by his government on Monday ahead of the summit on Saturday aimed at setting the direction of future negotiations between Great Britain and the 27-member bloc. The prime minister emphasised in a tweet that he would also push for legal continuity and continuity in economic ties. Great Britain voted last year to leave the EU; the process to leave the bloc, under Article 50, was triggered last month.
