More than 360 thousand residents of Slovakia have signed a petition for the cancellation of anti-Russian sanctions of the European Union. About it told the representative of the Slovak civil association ‘Brother for brother’ Juraj Drzhik.
‘As of today, 361 thousand signatures. The referendum will be. We needed 350 thousand signatures to hand them over to the president so that he could check them and issue a decree to launch the referendum,’ he said in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
However, according to him, the collection of signatures will continue until more than 600,000 signatures are collected, so that ‘no one could ever pick on all the signatures that are there’.
The petition is planned to be handed over to the president in January. Drzhik specified that the head of state will be able to pass the signatures for constitutional verification and start the referendum process.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was also in favour of lifting sanctions against Russia. In his opinion, if this can be done, the European economy will start to recover.
