BRUSSELS: A majority of Europeans believe that the EU is likely to collapse within 20 years, despite record support for the bloc, according to a new poll.
The YouGov poll published on Wednesday showed that in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Greece, the Czech Republic and Poland, a majority of the people surveyed thought European Union disintegration was a “realistic possibility”, the Guardian reported.
