Slovakia Set to Send Chargé d'affaires to Putin's Inauguration

Bratislava, May 6 (TASR) - Slovakia will be represented at Tuesday's inauguration of re-elected Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow by its chargé d'affaires, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has reported. "The Slovak Republic is aware of the complexity of the situation, but is nevertheless opposed to the creation of a new Iron Curtain, and this attitude is also confirmed by those European countries that are sending their diplomatic representatives to the inauguration," said the ministry's press department. Putin will take the presidential oath in the Kremlin on May 7, assuming the presidential office for the fifth time. zel/df
