Slovakia's economy wasn't significantly affected by Russia-targeted sanctions last year, the Foreign and European Affairs Ministry has written in a recently released report on the achievements of the country's economic diplomacy in 2014. The ministry further emphasized that Slovakia's economic diplomacy activities contributed towards eliminating negative impacts of the EU-sponsored sanctions against Russia on the most vulnerable areas of the country's economy. "What is more sensitive for Slovakia is the impact of Russian counter measures that have indirect influence on the European market with food and agricultural products, mainly in the form of the destabilization of its internal market," reads the report.
