“Slovakia will insist on granting an exception for itself if the EU decides to impose an embargo on the supply of [Russian] oil from 2023,” Sulik is quoted by TASS.
According to him, getting oil from Russia is vital for the Slovak economy.
Earlier, the French government reported that a new package of EU sanctions against Russia is being prepared, but it will not be discussed at today's meeting of energy ministers.
Bloomberg wrote that as part of the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions, the European Union may impose a complete embargo on oil supplies from Russia.
