Are too many voices speaking about Slovakia’s foreign affairs policy?

Foreign and European Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajčák is uncomfortable with the fact that top constitutional officials feel no need to consult in advance with his Ministry the foreign affairs speeches that they deliver abroad. Lajčák said this in response to Parliamentary Chair Andrej Danko's speech in the Russian State Duma and President Andrej Kiska's speech in the European Parliament, both of them on Wednesday. Danko in his speech stated that global peace was not possible without a strong Russia, as Russia forms part of a global security architecture whether people like it or not. Kiska, meanwhile, warned in Strasbourg that EU countries should act jointly against the imminent threat of a Russian propaganda and information war. Neither of them consulted their speeches in advance. This is the first time that this has happened and it is incorrect in Lajčák's view. The minister emphasised the need for Slovakia to pursue a consistent foreign affairs policy.
The Slovak president reacted to the Foreign Minister's statement by saying that he had not yet read it, but was glad that his speech was "appreciated by the MEPs present". "Secondly, I know that the minister is quite busy these days with his post of UN General Assembly president and, unfortunately, he seems to lack the relevant information concerning what is currently taking place at home," claimed Kiska. He pointed out that a month ago, a joint statement by Slovakia's top constitutional officials including Danko and prime Minister Robert Fico was put to ink in which they highlighted the country's membership of the EU and stated that there was no other alternative than the European one for Slovakia's future. Kiska added that he did not view the fact that Danko had addressed the Russian State Duma as problematic in terms of the declaration.
After he returns from Russia, Parliamentary Chair Andrej Danko will demand an explanation from Foreign and European Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajčák regarding Danko's address to the Russian State Duma. "The chairman sees no reason to consult his speech with a minister," said Parliament's press department head Zuzana Čižmáriková on Wednesday.
