Eleven Slovak MEPs backed an initiative on Tuesday calling for the Belgian police to hear also the testimony of Slovak witnesses concerning the death of Slovak national Jozef Chovanec in a police cell following an airport incident two years ago. The call, initiated by MEP Ivan Stefanec (the Christian Democrats/KDH), was also announced to the Slovak Foreign Ministry.
"I've been approached by many witnesses to the incident in the aircraft, which resulted in the restriction of Chovanec's freedom and eventually his death. … I'm shocked that the Belgian authorities still haven't approached or questioned them," said Stefanec.
