Russian President Vladimir Putin received in the Kremlin the Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico, who is on a working visit to Moscow.
Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, said that the negotiations are being conducted in a face-to-face format.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced earlier that the Prime Minister of Slovakia intends to hold talks with Putin against the background of Vladimir Zelensky's refusal to extend gas transit through the territory of Ukraine.
Earlier, Fizo noted that Zelensky's decision will lead to a crisis in Slovakia. It is expected that the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine will stop on January 1, 2025, after the end of the five-year contract.
