Before 2018, will it be officially announced that any state is withdrawing from the Schengen agreement?
The Schengen Area allows citizens of participating countries to cross each others' borders without border checks (European Commission, Newsweek, European Council on Foreign Relations). Some EU member states do not participate, but so far no country that has joined the area has subsequently withdrawn. A list of Schengen states can be found here.
