As Index.hr carried, Johnson's advisors had a meeting on Sunday to discuss the ways in which they could prevent British parliament form imposing three-month Brexit extension if they do not strike a deal with EU.
According to "Daily Telegraph" report, Johnson's plan envisages sending an accompanying letter alongside the request, setting out that the Government does not want any delay after October 31. Two ministers claim that Prime Minister is determined to "stick to the plan" on Brexit on October 31, with or without a deal.
British finance minister Sajid Javid said on Sunday Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not ask for a Brexit delay at an EU summit next month, but will instead press to secure a deal to smooth Britain’s departure from the bloc. “First of all, the prime minister will go to the council meeting on the 17th and 18th (of October), he’ll be trying to strike a deal. He absolutely will not be asking for an extension in that meeting,” Javid told the BBC.
French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said for Radio Europe 1 that the situation is "very disturbing" and that "British should decide what they want".
Given Serbia wants to join the EU (maybe), this course would make Scotland a smaller and even less significant country than Serbia. Ha Ha Ha.
@ bobaj - you're actually right! That is why it is critical Srbija does NOT join this dying club called EU.
Srbija is doing better than countries that are part of the EU, much better!
Stick with your "europes youngest democracy" laughing fiasco, bobaj...let the Srbs take care of themselves!

To write a second letter after first would be seen as illegal because it would be deliberately trying to thwart the law. It wouldn't work.
However, sending an earlier letter expressing his personal point of view and a desire for no further extension before he sends the legally required letter would not be illegal.
Maybe some country in the EU would make the decision for the UK by refusing an extension. That would make the UK look powerless and stupid, but would do the job.
That method of exit would also be used as another weapon by the Scottish Nationalists on their proposed path where they leave the UK and join the EU (maybe). Given Serbia wants to join the EU (maybe), this course would make Scotland a smaller and even less significant country than Serbia. Ha Ha Ha.
