He also emphasises the EU should be focusing on securing practical solutions, tackling politically sensitive issues. All with a view, Tusk says, to bringing backing a sense of stability, security and predictability.
His letter comes in the wake of Britain filing for its divorce, and the continuing negotiations – which have hit stumbling blocks.
Brexit, along with migration, Turkey and Iran are all set to be on the agenda of the two-day summit, which kicks off on Thursday.
