168 hodin | Czech and Slovak relations at freezing point

Due to the pro-Russian positions of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, the Czech cabinet suspended the intergovernmental consultations. Does this turn the former brothers into enemies? Nonetheless, this is not the first time that relations between these two nations, that used to share a common state once, have frozen. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the topic in an investigative piece for 168 hodin broadcast by Czech Television.
25. March 2024

"This is the proof of the lack of trust between the Czech government on one hand and the Slovak government on the other. It is not good news, because the Czech Republic and Slovakia have always been the closest partners. If we are now in a situation where that trust is missing, then it does not look good for Czech and Slovak relations."
