More than half of Europeans believe the EU will collapse within a generation, despite support for the bloc that has reached the top.
In France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Greece, the Czech Republic and Poland, a majority of people surveyed thought that the EU's deintegration was real opportunity in the next 10 to 20 years, The Guardian reports.
These numbers are particularly high in France, where President Emmanuel Macron's party has dropped down on the extreme rightist Marine Le Pen in polls for next week's European elections.

According to this research, undertaken by the European Council for Foreign Relations think tank, 58% of people in France thought the EU was very likely to be divided within 20 years. 66% thought the same in Slovakia.
Out of the fourteen surveyed states in Sweden alone (44%), Denmark (41%) and Spain (40%), the majority were on the opposite side.
Furthermore, a third of voters in France and Poland said they believed war was possible. /Periscope
