It is noted that the Prime Minister of Slovakia would like the next era of cooperation with Hungary to be an era of sincere non-repayable loans.
During the conversation, Fico said that Slovakia would not allow Hungary's voting rights in the EU to be restricted.
Regarding Hungary, there are proposals and resolutions that even call for taking away the right to vote or other important opportunities that an EU member state has. If I am the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, I will never agree to the country being punished for fighting for its sovereignty and national interests
According to him, any such restriction requires the consent of all EU member states.
