President Peter Pellegrini received Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili in Bratislava on Thursday, becoming the first leader of the European Union to receive this politician on an official visit. In a joint statement, Pellegrini confirmed that Slovakia fully respects the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders. Georgian President Kavelashvili stated that his country is under pressure from the EU. hnonline.sk ↗
On the same day, Pellegrini responded to Wednesday's incident, when a Russian Shahed-type drone landed in the Ukrainian town of Perechyn, just ten kilometers from the Slovak border. The president warned that Slovakia must not underestimate the threat that a foreign missile or drone originally intended for other targets could stray onto its territory. He therefore called for the introduction of a legal state of threat into legislation, stating that, in his words, the current state of peace does not allow the army to effectively carry out the necessary security measures. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Pellegrini also visited the JAVYS company in Jaslovské Bohunice, which specializes in nuclear waste and nuclear projects. During the visit, he expressed support for new nuclear projects and for the state's complete takeover of the Jadrová energetická spoločnosť Slovenska (JESS) company. The acquisition of 49 percent of shares from the Czech company ČEZ should take place during this half-year. idnes.cz ↗
The international community of Slovak professionals based in New York addressed an open letter to the president, expressing concern over the proposal to restrict postal voting for Slovaks living abroad. SITA ↗
