Slovakia stands conditions for Sofia summit too, cause of Kosovo

Slovakia is for the summit in Sofia to be held without national flags and symbols, due to Kosovo's participation in the state, which Bratislava has not recognised.

So said State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs of the Republic, Ivan Korcook.

“We have acted this way several times in the past and have applied even during our EU Council presidency”, he said.

Korcok, who along with Slovakia's prime minister, Peter Pelegrinij, will participate in the Sofia summit, stressed Slovakia has clearly defined its stance on Kosovo.

Slovakia's “position towards Kosovo's unilateral independence birch, and we have mentioned a number more times, including during my recent visit to Belgrade,” said Korcok
