The Slovak parliament members supported a resolution proposed by the SNS (Slovak National Party), which rejects the sanctions policy against Russia and says members of the Slovak government should not support the introduction of new restrictions against Russia.
"A very important decision, since it was adopted by parliament in a state with a parliamentary form of government and by a solid majority of lawmakers... This is, of course, a precedent that could have far-reaching consequences," Kosachev told Sputnik.
He said that in accordance with the document, the government will be obliged to follow the decision, including when voting in European Union organizations.
