For 14 days, it has been unclear where Robert Fico is, as he has not appeared publicly since his trip to Moscow, wrote the Dennik N newspaper's portal on Friday. Although he is not in Bratislava, a protest was organized in front of the government headquarters.

Slovakia has alternative gas supplies but Fico, who has ended military aid to Ukraine and sought warmer relations with Moscow, says Slovakia will lose its own transit revenues and pay additional transit fees to bring in non-Russian gas.
