Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Pico said German Chancellor Friedrich March yelled at him for blocking EU anti-Russian sanctions, Danik N.
"Should I be afraid now of what the Chancellor of Germany says? I remember our first conversation, when he called me and shouted that I allow myself to block sanctions against Russia, because it affected the interests of Slovakia," Pico said.
According to the prime minister of Slovakia, the incident happened during the discussion of the 18th package of EU sanctions, whose adoption Bratislava blocked in the summer of 2025.
