Slovak authorities are not going to prevent parliamentarians from visiting the Crimea. This was stated by the Chairman of the National Council Andrei Danko. He stressed that the Slovak deputies can go anywhere, anywhere.

Moreover, it is their job: everywhere to study the situation personally, then to give her a fair assessment. "If Slovak deputies could go to Kosovo, whose independence Bratislava does not recognize, then I do not understand why they should suddenly refrain from visiting the Crimea," Danko said in an interview with Izvestia,. - To go to regions whose status is controversial - one of the tasks of politicians. That is, they should be able to assess the situation in the region with their own eyes, and then provide this or that information to citizens of the country, "he stressed.. The head of the National Council did not hide his discontent with the activity of the Ukrainian ambassador to Slovakia, Yuri Mushka, who the other day allowed himself to say that Slovak deputies have no right to visit the Crimea, since this contradicts Ukrainian legislation. To those who disobey, Mushko threatened with sanctions - deprivation of the possibility of entry to Ukraine. "The Ukrainian ambassador broke the diplomatic protocol," responded sharply to this in Bratislava.

- The ambassador has no right to intimidate the Slovak parliamentarians with the laws of his state, "Danko pointed out, noting that this is not the first time Mushka goes beyond the borders. The Slovak delegation, which included five parliamentarians from different parties, major businessmen, public figures and journalists, will visit the Crimea from August 1 to 4. "Our goal is to get acquainted with the situation in the region and establish relations with the Crimea," said the head of the delegation, the deputy of the National Council Petr Marchek.
