Slovakia will proceed to focus on the European Union and NATO, while remaining a associate of these organisations, but will act more independently erstwhile making decisions – the head of the Slovak Parliament Peter Pellegrini, who won the presidential election, assured the RTVS on TV.

"I can warrant all Slovak citizens that the republic is firmly anchored in the European Union and NATO. No 1 can change the course of our abroad policy, but I confirm that in these organisations we must act more independently, we must make our voice heard. We must argue if any decisions have a negative impact on Slovakia, our economy or people surviving here. Our focus on the European Union and NATO is clear, but on the another hand we must look in all directions," Pellegrini said.
