The joint visit by foreign ministers from Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to Ukraine on Monday and Tuesday is a symbol of "triple solidarity", chief of Slovak diplomacy Ivan Korcok declared in Kiev on Tuesday. He underlined that Ukraine must enjoy the ability to make a free choice about its future. "Ukraine is not threatening anyone. We fail to understand and reject the argument that Ukraine's desire for NATO membership poses a threat to Russia," underlined Korcok, adding that it's necessary to respect the principles that post-1989 Europe has been built on.
