EU envoys schedule late Friday talks in Brexit countdown

BRUSSELS - The European Union's national ambassadors will meet late on Friday afternoon in Luxembourg without Britain to discuss Brexit, sources said, as divorce talks between London and the bloc are in their final stretch.

A flurry of Brexit meetings will take the matter a political level higher almost every day for the 27 states that are remaining in the EU and negotiating Brexit together.

They hope to reach an initial deal with Britain at an Oct 17-18 leaders' summit in Brussels.
