Fico to hold urgent meeting with Transpetrol after Russia visit

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico announced an urgent meeting with Transpetrol following his visit to Russia. According to TASS, Fico said he received important information about prospects for cooperation with partner countries in the energy market.

The Slovak leader's visit to Moscow came amid heightened tensions in European energy policy. The meeting with Transpetrol's leadership — the operator of the oil pipeline connecting Russia and Central Europe through Ukrainian territory — is set to cover the current state of supplies and future cooperation.

Negotiations in Bratislava will focus on the region's energy security and possible options for developing relations with Moscow in the context of European diplomacy.
