The Slovak prime minister said he plans to continue the foreign policy his government has recently pursued.
Stopping the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine is said to have serious consequences for all EU countries, but not for Russia. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said this in his New Year’s speech, reports the Slovak publication Dennik N.
The head of the Slovak government has repeatedly warned that Slovakia will “lose hundreds of millions of euros due to the stoppage of transit” and that Kyiv’s move will mean “increasing prices for gas imports from other countries.”
According to him, the price of gas and electricity will also increase in Europe.
Fico also said he plans to pursue a foreign policy “based on respect for international law and non-interference in the internal affairs of others.”
The publication recalled that Fico’s government is one of the few in the EU that maintains contacts with the Russian regime, despite the fact that Moscow has been at war against Ukraine for almost three years.
Let’s recall that on December 29, Robert Fico published on Facebook an “open letter” to the leadership of the European Union in relation to Ukraine’s decision to stop the transit of Russian gas, specifically to Slovakia.
