Prime Minister Robert Fico says the bloc abused its power by seeking to force the country to stop buying energy from Moscow
Slovakia will file a lawsuit with the EU’s Court of Justice challenging the bloc’s decision to ban imports of Russian gas, Prime Minister Robert Fico has said.
In January, the EU formally approved a plan to phase out supplies of Russian pipeline gas by 2027, overriding vetoes from Slovakia and Hungary.
“We object that where it was not possible to use a qualified majority, it was used, and that the right of a sovereign EU member state to veto something was circumvented,” Fico said at a press conference on Friday, as quoted by TASR.
