🇸🇰🇺🇦 In Lviv today, I accompanied Slovak Prime Minister @RobertFicoSVK at the 4th joint meeting of the Slovak and Ukrainian governments, representing Foreign Minister.
On the sidelines, I met with Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleksandr Mishchenko to discuss our bilateral cooperation, progress under the joint Roadmap 2.0, humanitarian assistance and Ukraine’s recovery.
I reaffirmed Slovakia’s support for Ukraine’s EU accession and our readiness to share expertise on accession-related reforms. We also discussed the protection of civilians, the return of Ukrainian children and closer cooperation in education, culture and minority affairs.
We agreed to resume the work of our joint intergovernmental commission on national minorities, education and culture, with its next meeting planned for 2027 in Uzhhorod.
Good neighbourly relations, mutual respect and a shared interest in lasting peace remain at the heart of our dialogue.

🇸🇰🇺🇦🇨🇦 Slovakia joins the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children
Today, I met with the Ukrainian and Canadian Ambassadors to formally hand over the diplomatic note marking Slovakia’s accession to the Coalition.
By joining, Slovakia is contributing to international efforts to ensure the safe return of Ukrainian children who have been unlawfully deported or forcibly transferred during the war.
Our support for Ukrainian children goes beyond this initiative. Slovakia has helped renovate school shelters in Ukraine, organised stays in Slovakia for children of Ukrainian emergency workers and police officers, and welcomed thousands of Ukrainian children into our education system.
Our shared goal is to see these children safely reunited with their families and back home.
🇸🇰 Slovakia has joined the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, reaffirming its commitment to international law and the protection of children. Their safe and unconditional return must remain a shared priority. #Slovakia #Ukraine #BringKidsBack

Criminal money sustains organised crime. It also buys what should never be for sale: our democracies. Taking that money away is democratic security.
Today, we opened for signature a new treaty strengthening the authorities’ ability to trace, seize and confiscate criminal assets, including crypto-assets.
I also welcome Kazakhstan’s deposit of its instrument of accession to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime.
Criminals cooperate across borders, without rules. We cooperate under rules we have agreed together. That is our strength.

A warm and engaging meeting in Bratislava today with members of the APCE Monitoring Committee! 🇸🇰🇪🇺🤝
Having started my diplomatic career in Strasbourg and later serving as Slovakia’s Ambassador to the Council of Europe (2017–2021), this dialogue always holds a deeply personal meaning for me.
We had an open, highly constructive exchange on the resilience of our democratic institutions and strong checks & balances, proving that human rights, democracy, and the rule of law remain the non-negotiable bedrock of Slovakia.
From constitutional review to transparent electoral processes, our commitment to European standards is absolute!
Always inspiring to connect with European partners who share our dedication to safeguarding our common democratic values! 🇸🇰🇪🇺
