In a significant move reflecting deepening divisions over responses to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, the Czech Republic has chosen to suspend intergovernmental consultations with Slovakia. The decision is a direct response to Slovakia’s stance on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, particularly highlighting concerns over a recent meeting between Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in Turkey.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala justified the suspension, citing notable differences in opinions on critical issues between the two nations. Fiala specifically pointed out the problematic nature of the meeting between the Slovak and Russian foreign ministers, deeming it inappropriate for intergovernmental consultations to proceed at this time.
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský echoed Fiala’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of honest discussions between friends, even on challenging matters. An anonymous Czech diplomatic official expressed concerns about Slovakia’s perceived “wrong path” and underscored the significance of practical discussions between the neighboring countries.
Despite acknowledging the need for open dialogue, the official asserted that joint government sessions were not feasible in the aftermath of statements by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and the controversial meeting with Sergey Lavrov.
In response, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused the Czech government of undermining Czech-Slovak relations by supporting the war in Ukraine, contrary to Slovakia’s advocacy for peace. The diplomatic discord also involves comments from French President Emmanuel Macron, who discussed the possibility of NATO and EU countries sending troops to Ukraine. Fico, upon returning home, criticized the discussions in France as “completely belligerent,” expressing surprise at the lack of focus on peace initiatives.
Fico emphasized Slovakia’s commitment to peace, contrasting with countries ready to send troops to Ukraine. He reiterated his government’s position against continuing the war, rejecting arms shipments to Ukraine and concentrating efforts on civilian projects.

Well, talk about a turn around! The Czech, Edvard Benes, was cozying up to Stalin in 1938 when he was ousted. Now it’s the Slovaks. Of course, Russia isn’t the USSR, but the EU is close to being the USSR.
Edvard benes was a jewish communist who allowed Stalin to build secret military bases and air bases in Czechoslavia from which Stalin intended to attack Germany, and Benes was also killing off large nimbers of ethnic Germans living in Czechoslavia which forced Hitler to move against Czechoslavia which the communist western democracies used as an excuse to accuse Hitler of attempting to conquer the world. Benes fled to Jewish communist Britain and was duly returned by the British to Czechoslavia after the war and continued his extermination of ethnic Germans fully supported by the USA and Britain. Slovakia did the right thing at the time and allied itself to National Socialist Germany against Soviet Jewish Bolshevism. It is clear that slovakia still sees the Czech state as the enemy as it did in 1938. The Czech Republic simply cannot be trusted as it is completely controlled by the USA, Britain and the communist EU.
