Prime Minister is Attending EU Summit in Brussels

Heads of governments and states of 27 EU member states, including Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, are meeting at a two-day EU summit in Brussels to complete a rough draft of the new EU Constitutional Treaty, which should replace the older unsuccessful draft. The preparations for the summit are overshadowed by tension whether EU member states will manage to agree on disputable issues concerning voting mechanism, Charter of Fundamental Rights, powers of potential EU foreign minister and relations between EU legislation and national legislation.
Slovakia will not propose any changes to the EU Constitutional Treaty, which was signed by the heads of EU member states in 2004 and approved by Slovak parliament in 2005. If the EU Constitutional Treaty remained in its current form, Slovakia would be satisfied, said Foreign Minister Jan Kubis after the cabinet approved the official position of Slovakia to be presented at talks on the EU Constitutional Treaty at the EU summit earlier on June.
