PM Fico: Slovakia will not interfere with the start of EU accession talks with Ukraine

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo has said that the republic will not hinder the start of negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.

He made the corresponding statement at a meeting with MPs. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

“We will not hinder the European Union’s decision to start negotiations with Ukraine,” Fitzo said.

At the same time, he added that Kiev is not ready to open accession talks with the community, it is a political decision.

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban emphasised that the European Union would make a serious mistake if it starts talks with Ukraine on membership in the association.
