After meeting European Parliament President Martin Schulz, the pro-independence leader told reporters: "Scotland is determined to stay in the EU," Reuters reports.

Schulz said he had "listened and learned."

As UNIAN reported earlier, 51.9% of the UK voters supported the Leave campaign meaning the country will withdraw from the European Union.
