"The high stakes of the talks were emphasised by the news that British people living in the EU could lose their right to move between member states after Brussels unless Britain made a reciprocal offer." (The Guardian.)

Should there be "Brexit" instead of "Brussels" in the above?

"After Brussels" is a short version of the fuller phrase: "after talks in Brussels about exiting the European Union."
