Slovakia sent 25 police officers to Macedonia on Tuesday to oversee public order on the Macedonian-Greek border, Slovak Police Corps spokesperson Denisa Baloghová told TASR on the same day. "The police officers will safeguard public order and security on the Macedonian-Greek border between April 4-May 6. If it becomes necessary and the Macedonian side asks for it, they'll stay to help there longer," said Baloghová. "The Slovak officers will carry out their duties in their own uniforms, with their own weapons, equipment and vehicles. They'll proceed on duty in line with the relevant partnership laws," said Baloghová. This is the second dispatch of a police unit from Slovakia to Macedonia, with another team due to be sent on June 6-July 7.
