Austrian foreign minister seeks more clarity on Brexit by Wednesday

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl said on Monday she hoped for more clarity on Brexit talks at this week's meeting of EU leaders starting on Wednesday in Brussels.

Negotiators from both sides failed to bridge the gap in intense weekend talks before a high-stakes EU summit on Wednesday and Thursday.

The outstanding question of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland is crucial for Brexit, Kneissl said.
