“We're experiencing complicated times in international relations that we haven’t seen in our region since at least 1989. The situation is all the more complicated considering that the principles and rules that guarantee the current order of our geopolitical environment, of whose correctness we're deeply convinced, are now at stake”, said Foreign Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajčák on Monday.
Nonetheless, he evaluated the year 2013 positively in the area of foreign policy. The European Union stabilised its monetary and economic situation, and growth was revived. Slovakia is set to receive €13.5 billion net for the 2014-2020 period, which is €2 billion more than in the previous term. “Višegrad co-operation (between Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary) has gained in quality and dynamics”, he concluded.
