Fico emphasized that he continues to insist on EU gas guarantees for Slovakia.
The Slovak Republic is a democratic and sovereign country. We have linked the sanctions package with the European Commission's proposal to stop the supply of Russian gas from January 1, 2028, and we ask the relevant players to provide the Slovak Republic with the necessary guarantees that after [that] we will have enough gas at moderate prices. This is a matter of Slovakia's national interests. I ask you to respect them
