This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia Juraj Blanar, Dennik N reports.
The diplomat noted that Slovakia seeks to receive a clear, transparent, and verifiable statement on the resumption of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
Previously, representatives of the Slovak government stated that they would support sanctions against Russia provided that they do not harm the interests of Slovakia.

According to Blanard, the position on blocking does not apply to the loan for Ukraine.
Recall that a loan worth 90 billion euros for Kyiv was blocked by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that he wanted to take his place in blocking the loan.
As reported by “FACTY”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Druzhba oil pipeline could resume operations by the end of April this year.
