The opposition criticized the nominations and labeled them political deals. In Radačovský's case, it also called for the president to intervene. In connection with objections to the nomination for Cyprus, MP Tomáš Valášek of Progressive Slovakia was also mentioned among opposition representatives. pravda.sk ↗
Foreign Affairs Minister Juraj Blanár rejected the criticism and described the opposition's reactions as hysteria surrounding the ambassadorial nominations.

Further steps in filling the ambassadorial posts will depend on the continuation of the diplomatic process following the discussion of the nominations in the parliamentary committees.
