Fico does not want to give up Russian gasThe EU executive is due to propose legal measures next month to phase out imports of Russian gas and liquefied natural gas into the EU by the end of 2027.
The plans also concern oil and include a tax or import duty on Russian enriched uranium for nuclear power.
Fico said he respects attempts to reduce energy dependence on third countries, but the Commissions proposals would harm the EU.
Its simply economic suicide to get to the point where gas, nuclear power, oil, everything has to end just because some new iron curtain is being built between the Western world and, perhaps, Russia and other countries.
Robert Fico Prime Minister of Slovakia According to him, Slovakia will work on changes in the legislative process.Slovakia receives Russian gas and oil and has been at odds with Ukraine over its decision late last year to halt gas supplies from the east through its territory.About 19 of gas to Europe still comes from Russia via the TurkStream pipeline and LNG supplies, compared to about 45 by 2022.
