European Council leader Donald Tusk said an EU summit in Brussels on February 18 will be crucial for the future of the bloc, with talks to keep Britain in the EU at critical moment.
Tusk said the risk of a break-up was real and that there was a need to handle the negotiations over Britain with care.
"After my talks today with President Iohannis, Prime Minister Cameron and President Hollande and before meeting Prime Minister Tsipras, Prime minister Sobotka and Chancellor Merkel tomorrow, I have only one political reflection. This is a critical moment," Tusk told reporters after a meeting with Romania's President Klaus Iohannis.
Tusk said that Britain's membership in the EU was at stake.
"At stake is also the future of our European Union, where we will all have to decide together and where we cannot and will not compromise on European values."
