Fico: Slovakia wants to resolve the issue of energy supplies from Russia with the EU by July 15

Slovakia intends to discuss the issue of energy supplies from Russia with its partners in the European Union by July 15, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said at a press conference.

 

“We want to resolve everything by Tuesday,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to Fico, Bratislava will only participate in the vote on new anti-Russian sanctions if it receives guarantees from the European Commission on this matter.

Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said that Budapest would not be able to secure its energy needs without supplies from Russia.
