Icelanders have voted against reopening negotiations on European Union membership, dealing a setback to the government’s efforts to revisit the country’s relationship with the bloc.
According to Icelandic broadcaster RUV, voters rejected the proposal to resume discussions on EU accession, keeping Iceland outside the 27-member union.
The result reflects continued divisions over EU membership, with concerns over sovereignty, fishing rights and economic policy remaining central to the debate.
The vote is likely to influence Iceland’s future approach to the European Union and could make any renewed membership push more politically difficult in the near term.
