<p>Mr Tusk said he was fully aware of how dramatic a moment it is and warned that it was impossible to predict what happens next.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;There&#8217;s no hiding the fact that we wanted a different outcome of yesterday&#8217;s referendum.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am fully aware of how serious or even dramatic this moment is politically. And there is no way of predicting all the political consequences of this event, especially for the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a historic moment but for sure not a moment for hysterical reactions. I want to reassure everyone that we are prepared also for this negative scenario.</p>
<p>&#8220;As you will know the EU is not only a fairweather project.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Tusk said the other leaders were &#8220;determined to keep our unity as 27&#8221; but would have to have a &#8220;wider reflection&#8221; about the EU&#8217;s future.</p>
<p>&#8220;For all of us the union is the framework of our common future,&#8221; he said &#8211; amid speculation that the UK vote could have a domino effect and prompt similar votes in other countries.</p>
<p>He said he had offered EU leaders an informal meeting in the margins of next Tuesday&#8217;s European Council summit in Brussels to discuss &#8220;the details of further proceedings&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will also propose to the leaders that we start a wider reflection on the future of our union.&#8221;</p>
<p>He acknowledged that recent years had been &#8220;the most difficult ones in the history of our union. But I always remember what my father used to tell me: What doesn&#8217;t kill you makes you stronger.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said there would be &#8220;no legal vacuum&#8221; because EU law &#8220;will continue to apply to and within the UK &#8221; until a formal exit.</p>
<p>&#8220;By this I mean rights as well as obligations.&#8221;</p>
