Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico reacted angrily to criticism from the British Ambassador to Bratislava of an interview Fico gave on Oct. 30 with Rossiya 1 TV in Moscow, countering that “Slovakia is not Britain’s colony.”
“I don’t know what gives you a right to interfere in my media activities,” Fico said in a video sent by his office. “That you represent a bigger and stronger state than Slovakia does not justify your unacceptable behavior,” Fico said, demanding Ambassador Nigel Baker stop interfering in his government’s sovereign foreign policy.
