Eavesdropping on allies is an unacceptable practice and the European and Foreign Affairs Ministry expects a thorough investigation into the incident, the ministry press department announced on Tuesday in response to the alleged surveillance of top European politicians by US and Danish secret services.
"As for the intelligence protection of the Slovak Republic, that falls under the remit of intelligence services," the ministry claimed in response to the question as to whether Slovaks can have guarantees that such spying hasn't taken place in Slovakia as well.
In an investigative report on Sunday (May 30), Danish public broadcaster revealed together with several other European media outlets that the US National Security Agency (NSA) had eavesdropped on Danish underwater internet cables from 2012 to 2014 to spy on top politicians in Germany, Sweden, Norway and France.
