The Latest: Belgian PM says EU needs to connect to citizens



Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel says Europeans are disenchanted with the EU project as the bloc's leaders meet to pick up the pieces after the U.K. vote to leave.

"There is a perception of technocracy," Michel told reporters Wednesday as EU leaders gathered without Britain to chart the way forward as 27 member states after the U.K. formally leaves.

He said "we have to show that Europe brings a real added value that can be felt by our fellow citizens."

His counterpart from neighboring Luxembourg said it was important to show unity at the meeting.

Bettel said that "with a disunited United Kingdom we need a united Europe more than ever."
