Iceland to carry referendum on full EU membership | DW News
Iceland’s Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir says her country will hold a referendum in the coming months on joining the European Union.
Back in 2013, Iceland abandoned talks about joining the bloc, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and growing global instability have increased support for becoming a full member state. Iceland already works closely with EU countries and is part of Europe’s passport-free travel area.
