Merkel reminded Britain that after Brexit will have to pay 100 billion euros

The issue of paying the European Union to Britain remains one of the most sensitive issues in the negotiations

German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that Britain would be forced to pay commitments to the EU, part of the Brexit talks. Bloomberg reports .

"This concerns the commitments with which the UK has joined the EU, and they naturally will not go away," Merkel said.

"It's not about the cost of divorce, which sounds like a fine. We are still at the very beginning of these talks, "added the Chancellor.

The question of the payment of funds to the European Union by Britain remains one of the most sensitive issues of negotiations on the conditions of exit from the EU.
