MOSCOW, 9 May (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko had a brief conversion with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico after the Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow, BelTA correspondent reports.

The communication between the two leaders took place “on the feet” after the solemn events. Robert Fico flew to Russia despite the attempts of the European Union to disrupt his visit. First, it was the EU that made threats against Slovakia. Then Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania closed their skies to the prime minister's plane. As a result, Fico’s plane took the southern route, passing through Hungary, Romania, the Black Sea and Georgia.

“Well done! You said that you would come. And you did!” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.

As it has been reported, the head of state sent Victory Day greetings to foreign leaders, including to the leadership of Slovakia.

“I am convinced that the Great Victory won at the cost of enormous losses will forever remain a symbol of the triumph of good over evil, freedom over enslavement. The Belarusian people highly appreciate that your country preserves the memory of the feat of Soviet and Slovak soldiers who fought together against the Nazis. I believe that the protection of the common historical truth can serve as a reliable foundation not only for the development and strengthening of Belarusian-Slovak relations, but also for ensuring peace and stability throughout Europe,” the Belarusian leader said.in his congratulatory message to Robert Fico.
