Icelanders vote on restarting EU membership talks after 13 years

Iceland is conducting a referendum to determine whether to restart talks concerning its accession to the European Union, following a 13-year hiatus. The latest poll shows the 'No' campaign, which fears losing control of fishing grounds, slightly ahead with 51.6%. Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir's government brought the vote forward due to international events, but the debate has focused on fishing and sovereignty.
