The diplomat did not cover the lamentation of Robert Fica's policy and his allies, so he stressed in his letter that Slovakia had become "unimportant" for their rule.
"Our alleged 'multi-point abroad policy' is at best an empty marketing slogan – at worst – deliberately drifting towards the world's worst dictators“ He wrote, listing examples of the country’s cooling-off relation with the EU and NATO while at the same time strengthening ties with China and Russia.
He besides warned that Slovakia is presently "in the weakest position in abroad policy since 1998", losing all crucial ally, including destroying its contacts with neighbours – Czech Republic and Poland. As he pointed out, in the Baltic and Scandinavia countries Slovakia is seen as "total madman".
