Slovakia’s Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak said that his country would not be changing its stance on not recognizing Kosovo. “Our stance is clear and consistent, but not unfriendly,” Lajcak said, according to Slovakian news agency TASR. Slovakia won’t change Kosovo stance Lajcak confirmed support for the countries of the Western Balkans for joining the EU and NATO, but added that Brussels would have to be involved very closely in the process because of the specific character of the region. “(Brussels) must take more responsibility on itself and the countries in the region. Sometimes I have the feeling that the politicians of some regional countries do not realize what a unique chance the EU offers them with the fact that their membership is guaranteed,” Lajcak said. He said that the biggest problems from that point of view are found in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Lajcak commended the relations between a majority of neighboring countries in the region, but warned that a lot of energy needs to be put into solving Slovakia’s disputes with Hungary. The minsiter said that he hoped that once the new government is formed in Budapest in April, and after the parliamentary elections in Bratislava in June, there would be new possibilities for “more pragmatic dialog”.
