United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix has expressed his gratitude for Slovakia's strong support of UN Peacekeeping and the service and dedication of its military and police personnel deployed around the world under the flag of the UN, the United Nations Information Service in Vienna reported on Monday. "Over two decades, more than 3,800 Slovak peacekeepers have served in Cyprus. This sustained commitment to Cyprus and to UN Peacekeeping is truly appreciated by the United Nations," Lacroix remarked. In the course of Slovakia's several-decades-long contribution to UN Peacekeeping, six of its personnel have lost their lives while serving under the UN flag.
