Slovakia's Foreign Ministry announced today that it had summoned a Russian embassy official to protest statements made by the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergei Naryskin.
In his statement he said the false comments were made on the eve of parliamentary elections held on Saturday in Slovakia, when there was a moratorium on information that could benefit or harm candidates.
" The Directorate of Diplomacy strongly protests against the false statement of the Russian secret services, which calls into question the integrity of the free and democratic elections in Slovakia. We consider such misinformation spread intentionally as unacceptable interference by the Russian Federation in the election process ," the ministry's statement said.
In its statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on Russia to stop all disinformation activities targeting Slovakia.
Meanwhile, Moscow will monitor developments in Slovakia after the victory in Saturday's election of the party led by Robert Fitzow, a politician who opposes the European Union deal to arm Ukraine, the Kremlin said today.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that any politician in Europe who thinks about his country's interests is immediately labeled as pro-Russian.
Slovakia's president today tasked populist Robert Fico with forming a new government after his party, Smer-SD, won Saturday's parliamentary election in the country. "The duty of the head of state is to respect the result of the democratic elections and at the same time ensure the proper functioning of our institutions", said Zuzana Tsaputova.
Fitzo was appointed prime minister and given two weeks to negotiate the formation of a coalition government after his party won but fell short of a majority in parliament.
