Fico's man went to Lavrov to "protect Slovak interests." Opens doors for agents, opposition is furious

Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár met with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow to discuss political dialogue, economic cooperation, and the situation in Ukraine. Blanár emphasized the need to maintain communication with Russia despite opposing its actions in Ukraine. The visit aimed to address issues like energy supplies and was criticized by the opposition, who accused Blanár of obscuring the true motives behind the trip. Former Foreign Minister Ivan Korčok called for Blanár's dismissal, claiming the visit could lead to increased Russian diplomatic presence in Slovakia. Analysts suggest the trip reflects Slovakia's desire for energy independence and domestic political considerations.
