US EditionOrpo: Hungary and Slovakia Must Join in on Russian Sanctions
- Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár indicated that Slovakia is prepared to back the EU's recently announced 18th sanctions package targeting Russia.
- Nonetheless, Slovakia and Hungary have raised objections to parts of the package, citing issues related to their energy supply and potential arbitration risks that could lead to costs of up to 20 billion euros for Slovakia.
- Blanár emphasized that Slovakia links the sanctions package discussion to the RePowerEU plan and requests guarantees and support to mitigate negative effects of disconnecting from Russian energy.
- Blanár affirmed that the proposed sanctions package is unlikely to harm Slovakia’s economy and expressed the country’s preparedness to back it, noting that Slovakia has historically not obstructed sanctions despite earlier warnings to possibly do so.
- Prime Minister Robert Fico plans to raise Slovakia's concerns at the European Council meeting and seek a postponement of the vote until resolution, indicating ongoing negotiation efforts.
