The Austerlitz Format - Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia - will jointly support the construction of an incinerator of hazardous medical waste in Lebanon with an amount of €450,000. Slovak Foreign and European Affairs Minister Miroslav Wlachovský announced the official launch of the construction during his working visit to this Middle Eastern country. Lebanon, which is currently facing a crisis, has no systematic approach to the disposal of toxic waste from hospitals negatively affecting the environment and people's health. The head of Slovak diplomacy also held talks in Beirut with Prime Minister Najib Mikati. They discussed the difficult political and economic situation in the country, internal security and migration, stated Wlachovský.
