BRATISLAVA, October 29, (WEBNOVINY) — Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas let it be known to the European Union that the two countries will continue to build their energy security on nuclear energy. „We agreed that we have a strong interest in developing the nuclear energy sector in the EU. We cannot do without a stable and affordable supply of electricity. This means that the continuation of nuclear energy both in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic is in our common interest,“ Petr Necas said after Monday’s joint session of the Czech and Slovak cabinets.
„Not everyone in Europe likes it that Slovakia and the Czech Republic build their energy security on nuclear power plants. On the contrary, we believe there are countries that would prefer to put obstacles to that, which would be happy to see them closed. In Slovakia, we cannot imagine energy security without nuclear power plants,“ Fico said, completing the message of this colleague to the EU. The Slovak prime minister rejects political authorities of the EU politicizing the issue of safety of nuclear power plants. „We demand that our partners at EU level and at level of the European Commission objectively and fairly inform about the true situation with nuclear security in our countries. It is on a very high level,“ said Fico. „We have a common interest in a European way to avoid further development of nuclear energy in the EU being torpedoed,“ said Necas.
