MINSK, 30 September (BelTA) - Slovakia and Belarus are resuming cooperation after an almost five-year hiatus, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Slovakia to Belarus Jozef Migas said in an interview with BelTA.
The diplomat commented on the Western sanctions against Belarus. “At the current stage, sanctions are a very limiting factor in Slovak-Belarusian relations, not only in trade and economic areas, but also in interpersonal, tourist, and cultural ones, i.e. in key avenues. Our intention is to give momentum to Slovak-Belarusian cooperation and friendly relations," he said.
“We are going to restart our relations after five years of stagnation, which began in 2020,” the ambassador emphasized.

Regarding the restrictive measures and sanctions, Ambassador Jozef Migas noted: “These abnormal, unhealthy, lawless, and illegitimate modern practices with sanctions continue to exist to this day; in some areas of interstate and interpersonal relations, they are even deepening. This has nothing in common with civilized development at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. It is time to put an end to this. The sooner, the better! It will be better for everyone.”
