"Night Wolves" want to open a headquarters near Bratislava, writes about Russian bikers journalist of the Austrian edition of Kurier Konrad Kramar. President of Slovakia Andrei Kyska is outraged.

In the center of the scandal was a plot of land in a small village Dolna Krupa near the town of Trnava in Western Slovakia. The owner of the site is a Slovak businessman who has placed there a number of old military cars and a large collection of collectors' items of the "cold war". The situation became strained after a whole delegation of Russian "night wolves" arrived here two weeks ago, including their leader Alexander Sergeevich Zalldostanov, the journalist said..

The Bikers Club, which President Putin has been openly welcoming to for several years, regularly organizes tours around Europe and attracts attention with Russian flags and nationalist slogans - for example, that the Crimea peninsula, which is part of Ukraine, according to international law, will forever remain Russian, the article says.

Slovak politics is trying to soften the case, stating that all military equipment is "decommissioned and no longer suitable for shooting". However, the president of Slovakia, Kisku, who is not a political supporter of Russia, such statements are not reassuring, the correspondent notes. "It's not about any motorcycle enthusiasts, but about the tool of the regime that was involved in the past in the occupation of part of the neighboring state," the politician said, hinting at the Crimea.
