As long as I am the prime minister of the Slovak Republic, I will lead the deputies whom I, as the party leader, have under political control to never agree to Ukraine's membership in NATO, said Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) in the STVRT talk show O five minutes twelve on Sunday. • The prime minister also agrees with Ukraine's membership in the European Union, even if, according to him, it is still a blocked road for a few years. However, it is not for Ukraine to be a member of NATO. He stressed that this membership must be ratified by all NATO states. • 00:01 SOUNDBITE (Slovak) Robert Fico, Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic: Well, be careful! Membership in NATO is not obtained by a group of people coming and saying that you will be there. Then you need the ratification of every single state. And you know my opinion. As long as I am the prime minister of the Slovak Republic, I openly say this to Mr. Michal, the prime minister, I say it to everyone, I also say it to the Americans...I will lead the members of the National Council, whom I, as party leader, have under political control to never agree with Ukraine's membership in NATO, because it is just as good as the basis of the third world war. Because you know what will happen, as soon as Ukraine is part of NATO and there is a conflict like now, it will be considered as an attack on a NATO member state and extremely dangerous mechanisms can be launched. That's why we are big opponents of the idea that Ukraine should be in NATO. But you know, there are big dogs in politics. But as long as I'm the prime minister, so our deputies will never agree to that.
