"The Russian law-enforcement agencies are actively involved in work on the incident. Regrettably, I cannot provide any information in addition to what has already been reported", Alexander Yakovenko said.
"We are closely monitoring this question because it concerns relations with another state. If anything comes up, we will immediately make it known", Alexander Yakovenko promised.
On Friday a spokesman for the Interior Ministry told RIA Novosti that it has begun operative search for the missing employee of the humanitarian Organisation for Help to Refugees.
The Slovak mass media reported on May 26 that the 28-year-old girl had set out on her own from Pyatigorsk (Stavropol region) to visit her friends in Ingushetia. She might have planned to go to Chechnya.
Communication with Jevikova broke off on June 1. The last message from her mobile phone may be an indication that she had been abducted. It read in broken Russian: "I've been carried about the field for two hours".
Jevikova's Ingush friends reported her disappearance to Bratislava on Tuesday, June 8. Press secretary Roman Rosina of the Slovak embassy in Moscow reported to the Slovak TASR news agency that on Thursday the Organisation for Help to Refugees asked the embassy for assistance in the search to Jevikova.
Rosina said that the Slovak embassy together with the Russian foreign and interior ministries are doing "everything necessary" to find Jevikova.
