But claiming it as a Brexit-style victory for “national sovereignty” or evidence of broad rejection of the EU misrepresents the reality of the island’s relationship with the bloc.

Reykjavik wants the market without the politics. So do Europe’s wealthiest hold-outs, and Britain, above all, ought to be taking note. So Iceland will not be joining the European Union anytime soon.

Nakon Trumpova pohoda na Grenland, Island se našao u središtu prostora u kojem se susreću američka moć, ruska prijetnja, europske ambicije i otvaranje Arktika. Zato njegovo 'ne' daljnjim pregovorima s Europskom unijom nije bijeg od Zapada, već pokušaj strateški nezaobilazne države da i dalje naplaćuje svoju geografiju te nikome ne preda poluge vlastite suverenosti

Islanďané odmítli obnovení přístupových rozhovorů s Evropskou unií. Rozdíl hlasů byl poměrně těsný. „Island si ponechal výhody, ale odmítl nevýhody evropské regulace a omezení,“ shrnuje v pořadu Pro a proti Českého rozhlasu Plus europoslanec Ondřej Dostál (nez.).
