Kmec: No Indications of EC Suspending Resources for Slovakia Currently

Bratislava, April 17 (TASR) - There are no indications at the moment that the European Commission wants to suspend the drawing of EU funds and funding for the recovery plan for Slovakia, Vice-premier for EU Funds and the Recovery Plan Peter Kmec claimed on Wednesday. "We are currently communicating intensively on open questions that the Commission is asking, so the Commission isn't in any manner suggesting that Slovakia will lose any money," Kmec said. The deputy prime minister added that the recent scrapping of the Special Prosecutor's Office wasn't challenged by either the Constitutional Court or the European Commission. The government and the European Commission are currently discussing the organisation of the Slovak Prosecutor-General's Office to ensure the protection of the EU's financial interests, claimed Kmec. "These are professional matters and I think it's unnecessary if we introduce politics into it and jeopardise these financial resources, which should reach regions and the public," Kmec remarked. zel
