The Slovak Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed late on Wednesday evening that the Slovak Ambassador to Belarus, Jozef Migaš, had asked to be relieved of his duties in the wake of a controversy concerning his decision to attend commemorations of the end of WWII in Minsk. "Ambassador Migas breached the basic principles of communications with head office when he didn't consult his attendance at commemorations of the end of WWII in Minsk in spite of coordination by the EU delegation," stated the ministry. The ministry learnt that Migaš had attended the event only later from the press.
