Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico spoke about a phone conversation held today with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and stated his interest in maintaining friendly relations with Ukraine.
“Despite the fact that we have differing views on some issues, we are interested in good and friendly relations between Slovakia and Ukraine. I confirmed that Slovakia supports Ukraine’s aspiration to join the EU, as Slovakia wants Ukraine, as our neighbor, to be a stable and democratic country”, he wrote on Facebook.
The sides agreed to hold a brief meeting on Monday in Yerevan on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit, as well as to continue the format of joint governments and reciprocal visits to the capitals of the two countries.
“I also emphasized that no peace agreement in the military conflict with the Russian Federation is possible without the consent of the Ukrainian side”, he added.
Earlier, Zelensky described the conversation as good and also expressed interest in strong relations with Slovakia.
