The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has said there can be no talks on Brexit before the UK formally begins the process of leaving the EU, BBC reports.

According to her, the UK needs time, but that time should not be long.

"The reality is that a majority of British citizens voted to leave... so I await a communication about Article 50 from the UK addressed to the EU. I have the task to consider that message when it comes. We should not wait a long time. I do understand that the UK will consider things for a while,” Merkel said.
