Slovak MFA: A principled stance on Ukraine, just as we do not recognize Kosovo

After facing criticism from part of the Slovak public for supporting the European resolution on Ukraine at the UN General Assembly, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that its position is principled, just as in the case of not recognizing Kosovo, as it considers it a violation of international law and Serbia’s territorial integrity.

The Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that voting for the European resolution condemning Russian aggression reflects the government's stance.

They recalled that 93 UN member states approved the resolution, which is a "possible compromise proposal" aimed at emphasizing respect for international law, the inviolability of borders, and territorial integrity.

These principles are fundamental for Slovakia, the ministry stated in a press release for the TASR agency, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda.

"Our stance is absolutely principled, just as in the case of Slovakia not recognizing Kosovo, because we consider it a violation of international law and Serbia’s territorial integrity," the statement reads.
