Baku – APA. France's President has said the implementation of the Brexit cannot be cancelled or delayed as Eurosceptics "begin to realise" the benefits of remaining in the EU, Independent reported.

Francois Hollande echoed comments made by some other European leaders who have called for the UK to start the process of leaving the EU immediately.

Speaking after a meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron, he told the AFP news agency: “Being in the European Union has its advantages and I think that is what the British are beginning to understand, what those who are tempted by the Brexit are going to reflect upon. But the decision has been taken - it cannot be delayed or cancelled. Now we must take the consequences.”
