Slovak opposition sharply criticises foreign minister's planned trip to Russia

Slovakia's opposition on Thursday sharply criticised a planned visit to Russia by the country's foreign minister, Juraj Blanár. Opposition representatives compared the minister's action to treason against the state.

The source report states only that the visit is planned. It gives no date, purpose or agenda for the trip, and it does not detail the opposition's statements or any response from the minister.

The criticism comes while Russia continues its war in Ukraine, so the Slovak foreign minister's trip to Moscow has become a point of political dispute inside the country.
