February 9, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarusian Ambassador Andrej Dapkiunas and the deputy speakers of the Slovak parliament, \u013dubo\u0161 Blaha and Andrej Danko, have met in Bratislava, the Belarusian foreign ministry\u2019s Telegram channel Glas MIDa<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quoted Dapkiunas as calling the Slovak lawmakers \u201csincere friends of Belarus who always act in the interests of true friendship between peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blaha, an ally of populist Prime Minister Robert Fico, also took to Telegram. He said the meeting was cordial because Belarus is a friend whose World War II sacrifice will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will do everything to normalize relations with Russia and Belarus, he pledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the European Union imposed sanctions on Minsk for its crackdown on dissent and its role in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovakia, an EU member, supported the sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blaha, however, criticized the sanctions policy on Belarus as nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
