Republic is a democratic society

For their part, the Czech Republic had none of the Slovak leader’s bombastic rhetoric. Prime Minister Petr Fiala immediately characterized Fico’s allegations as “absurd,” while Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský also rejected the spurious assertions, pointing out that the Czech Republic is a democratic society in which freedom of speech is valued. The most significant show of support for Fico from the Czech side of the border came from Miloš Zeman, a widely reviled ex-president. In an informal meeting in Prague on February 1 with Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár, Zeman farcically waxed about improving Czecho-Slovak relations, offering his full support to Fico in the process. The fact that Blanár sought support from undoubtedly the most Russophilic former Czech political figure speaks volumes of the shrinking pool of friends Slovak leadership enjoys in the region. สล็อต เว็บตรง
