Icelanders voted to reject reopening EU membership talks, official results showed Sunday, dealing a blow to the government's push to join the bloc and handing a win to those who argued the country's prized fishing waters were too important to risk. The results will disappoint Brussels, which had hoped to welcome the Nordic country as a new member.
Iceland's voters rejected restarting negotiations to join the European Union (EU) in a referendum that pitted concerns about geopolitical stability against keeping national control of Iceland’s prized fisheries, officials said Sunday.
