Slovakia will end its blockade of the 18th EU sanctions package against Russia, which had been held up due to concerns about a separate EU plan for stopping gas imports by 2028. Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that continuing the blockade would be counterproductive. Slovakia has received guarantees from the EU regarding gas prices and supply, indicating the importance of energy security. EU ambassadors are set to meet to finalize the package, after previous attempts failed during a prior meeting of EU foreign ministers.
At this point, it would be counterproductive to continue blocking the 18th sanctions package tomorrow.
Slovakia received guarantees from the EU pertaining to gas prices and supply.
