BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday the nomination of Jean-Claude Juncker for European Commission president was "a serious mistake" that would make it harder to keep Britain inside the European Union.

After losing an unprecedented vote on the nomination at an EU summit, Cameron warned it would be harder to reform an EU that was crying out for change ahead of a possible in/out vote on Britain's EU membership by the end of 2017.
