Slovakia assumes EU rotating presidency amid Brexit fallout

Slovakia assumes the six-month rotating presidency of the EU on Friday, as the bloc faces unprecedented pressure following UK decision to leave it.

It is the first presidential stint for Slovakia, which joined the EU in 2004.

Prime Minister Robert Fico has said the EU will have to "redefine" unsuccessful policies, particularly on immigration.
