Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, Syria's opposition leader, has announced his resignation from the National Coalition, his spokesman told Al Jazeera.
Mohamed Ali said the resignation followed Saturday's meeting with the European Union, "which resulted in achieving nothing".
In a statement released on his Facebook page on Sunday, Khatib confirmed his resignation from the dissident group recognised by dozens of states and organisations as a legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
