BERN (Reuters) - European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Thursday that it would be seen in the next few days whether Brexit talks with Britain had made enough progress to enter a second phase of negotiations.

"We are in intense negotiation with the UK to end the first phase of the talks about topics such as citizen rights, the 'Ireland problem', the bill that will have to be paid," Juncker told a news conference during an official visit to Switzerland.
