Even a limited conflict in Ukraine will bring tens of thousands of refugees to Slovakia, Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď (OĽaNO) said after the meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday. If the situation in Ukraine escalates and the worst scenario becomes a reality, Prague has offered to send police officers to the Slovak-Ukrainian border.
Slovak Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivan Korčok acknowledged on Monday (24 January) that the situation is serious, conflict is imminent and the EU and US will not be able to accept certain demands coming from Moscow.
The Slovak government has already prepared three strategic documents. One of these is the so-called migration plan. Although it is currently not public, Naď said that all Ukrainians who arrive in the country would receive refugee status.
How exactly Slovakia plans to secure the border with Ukraine is not clear. Help may, however, come from Prague.
