Vladimir Bartovic regarding the attitude of Andrej Babis to the EU. 

Babis, a billionaire tycoon, would not do anything to destabilise EU markets because that would hurt his own companies in France, Germany, and further afield. He  just wants to stay in power and to protect his business interests. The EU is the only viable option for that.
