Slovak Foreign Minister Ivan Korcok apologized for Prime Minister Igor Matovic’s joke about Transcarpathia in exchange for a Russian vaccine.
The Slovak official wrote about it on Facebook, informs UATV.
“Today I talked to my Ukrainian partner, Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba. I apologized to him for the inappropriate statements of the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Igor Matovic about Ukraine. Just a few days ago in Kyiv we had a very good talk about how to develop further our relations, “writes Korcok.
Previously Slovakia received the first batch of Sputnik V without waiting for the drug to be registered in the European Union. In one of the radio broadcasts, in response to a journalist’s question about what Slovakia promised Russia for the supply of the vaccine, Matovic replied:
“Transcarpathian Ukraine.”
He immediately noted that this was a joke.
Dmytro Kuleba called the statement of the Slovak Prime Minister incorrect and unfriendly.
