After the scandalous statements of the Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, news agency feeds are filled with similar quotes from the new Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico. Both EU neighbors promise each other eternal support and criticize Brussels.
Rus.Postimees asked an expert in Bratislava whether both politicians can stand in the shadow of the walls of the Moscow Kremlin and whether the collapse of the European Union with such allies in the eastern wing is still far away.
Slovak political scientist, president of the Institute for Social Problems (Bratislava), Grigori Messežnikov, in a conversation with the portal Rus.Postimees explained how the old and new Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico differs from Viktor Orbán, whether Fico can build a regime similar to that of Hungary, and as far as Russia and Ukraine.
