Top three state representatives sign memorandum on foreign policy

President Peter Pellegrini, Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) and House Vice-chair Peter Ziga (Voice-SD) on Sunday signed a joint declaration on a common approach on foreign policy issues, declaring that Slovakia is firmly anchored in the EU and NATO in the document.

The signatories stressed that Slovakia will be a country that will sovereignly assert its foreign policy positions without questioning its firm membership in the EU and NATO. They declared to support and promote this anchorage, including raising issues that can improve relations within the EU and NATO.

"Slovakia wants to remain a valid member of the EU and NATO, fully aware of its rights, but we want to be a proud member of these communities," the president stressed after signing the memorandum. "Let us never be afraid to speak abroad with a sovereign voice, because even a small state like Slovakia has the right to promote the interests of its people abroad," Pellegrini added.
