Foreign Affairs Minister Ivan Korcok reported on Monday evening that Slovakia proposed on the same day at the EU Foreign Affairs Council that the European Magnitsky Act should be expanded to include corruption-related crimes.
According to Korcok, Slovakia, with the support of several other EU-member countries, aims to present the request to EU chief of diplomacy Joseph Borrell and the French Presidency of the Council of the EU.
The Slovak minister noted that the process has only just begun and that nothing has yet been decided. Nevertheless, the Slovak initiative should be addressed further by EU bodies.
