Vladimir Putin: Russia-Slovakia Relations Facing No Problems

The Russo-Slovak relations are facing no problems, on the contrary, they are developing rather dynamically in all areas--political, economic and cultural. Russian president Vladimir Putin said as much, opening the Kremlin negotiations on Monday with Slovak president Rudolf Schuster, attended by the two countries' delegations. According to the Russian head of state, the visit by the Slovak president escorted by such a high-profile delegation will give an additional impetus to the bilateral ties. Vladimir Putin added he was happy to see his Slovak counterpart in Moscow.
