Voting for the 17th package of sanctions against Russia was in line with the government manifesto, said Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár (Smer-SD) in private TV JOJ 24's discussion programme on Sunday. "The definition is clear: as long as the sanctions don't harm the interests of Slovakia, meaning its economy or living standards of its citizens, we will vote for them," explained Blanár. As he added, all the coalition parties gave him the mandate to back the sanctions by signing the government manifesto.
