On Thursday, June 4, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of the Slovak Republic agreed to the nomination of independent (non-affiliated) MP Miroslav Radačovský for the post of ambassador of the Slovak Republic to Cyprus. At the session, the committee took note of the focus of activity of the Slovak diplomatic mission in the Republic of Cyprus. ta3.com ↗

Radačovský's nomination was part of parliamentary committee negotiations on filling ambassadorial posts. The Committee on European Affairs also agreed to the nominations of Radačovský and MP Peter Kmec of Hlas-SD, who is to be posted as ambassador to Italy. teraz.sk ↗

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. According to available information, in recent days the committees have mainly been dealing with the focus of activity of the Slovak diplomatic missions in Cyprus and Italy. teraz.sk ↗

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. The dispute also remains a political topic, as the opposition questions the nature of the nominations while the coalition defends them as part of the standard procedure. ta3.com ↗
