A visit to Slovakia by President Karol Nawrocki



On Wednesday, Polish President Karol Nawrocki visited Bratislava, where he met Slovakian President Peter Pellegrini. The main topics of discussion were political, economic, and infrastructure–related issues.



During a press conference, Karol Nawrocki emphasised that Poland and Slovakia are not only neighbours, but also long–standing friends. „In 2022–24, Polish pilots took part in air–policing mission of Slovakia’s airspace, and when the Polish border was violated by Russian drones, President Pellegrini and Slovakia unequivocally declared their solidarity with Poland” – he recalled.



The President emphasised that the primary objective of Poland and Slovakia is to strengthen their partnership within organisations such as the Visegrad Group, the Three Seas Initiative and the Bucharest Nine, while also taking responsibility for NATO’s eastern flank.



President Nawrocki also emphasised the need to strengthen infrastructure cooperation. He welcomed with satisfaction the Slovakian President’s declaration that construction of the R4 route, which forms part of the Via Carpatia project, will be completed in the coming years.



The President believes that such actions will contribute to the economic development and security of our region. ‘Following my meetings with President Donald Trump, I proposed that Poland should become as soon as possible a hub for gas supplies from the United States. We have a terminal in Świnoujście and I hope that construction of the floating terminal in the Baltic Sea will be completed soon. We also have an interconnector with Slovakia,” said Karol Nawrocki. He added that „Poland’s infrastructure development and our cooperation will lead us to independence from Russia throughout the region.”



President Nawrocki also confirmed that he had discussed migration with Peter Pellegrini. The Polish and Slovakian Presidents agreed that EU institutions cannot decide where to deploy migrants who pose a threat to security within Member States. President Nawrocki expressed his hope that, at the December Visegrad Group Summit, it would be possible to convince the Hungarian and Czech delegations to adopt this position as well.



While in Bratislava, President Nawrocki also met the Slovak Republic’s Prime Minister, Robert Fico, and its President of the National Council, Richard Raši.
