Slovakia prefers dialogue in relations with Russia.

In relations with Russia, Slovakia prefers dialogue instead of closing doors; There are opportunities for cooperation in the field of energy and agriculture, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Tibor Gasper told the media.

On October 26, a meeting of the Russian-Slovak intergovernmental committee was held in Moscow for the first time in almost five years. The head of the Slovak delegation was Foreign Minister George Blenner, who previously spoke of an interest in restoring communication channels with Russia.

"The negotiations confirmed that there are opportunities for cooperation, especially in energy, nuclear energy and agriculture. It is particularly important that Slovakia conducts a pragmatic policy and prefers dialogue," Gesfer said.

Prime Minister Robert Pico, in a meeting with Putin in Beijing in September 2025, expressed interest in normalizing relations with Russia.
