Brussels/Bratislava, 18 December (TASR-correspondent) - Slovakia has its priorities in negotiations on the European Union's Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), namely funding for Slovak farmers and reducing regional disparities, Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) declared on Thursday during the ongoing EU summit, TASR's special Brussels correspondent reports.
"In my remarks I underlined the need to make compromises, otherwise we will not move forward, because the old familiar problem has resurfaced between net contributors to the EU budget and net beneficiaries, among whom Slovakia also belongs," the prime minister described the climate of the European Council talks in a post on social media.
Fico specified that Slovakia's priorities in talks on the future EU MFF are to secure sufficient funding for Slovak farmers and reduce regional disparities.
