Foreign Affairs Minister Ivan Korcok (an SaS nominee) reported on Tuesday that Slovakia has registered up to 250 people who want to be transported from Afghanistan to Slovakia, explaining that these are often relatives of Slovak nationals with Afghan roots, or people working for organisations that have cooperated with Slovakia such as educational institutions and universities.
The minister claimed in this regard that Slovakia will consider each of these applications individually and that every applicant will also be assessed in terms of security.
A total of 24 people were transported from Afghanistan to Slovakia last week. Sixteen of them were Slovaks, while the rest were Afghans who had collaborated with the Slovak Armed Forces.
