Czech and Slovak governments to hold joint talks in Bratislava

Members of the Czech and Slovak governments are meeting in Bratislava on Tuesday for their tenth round of intergovernmental consultations. The talks will focus on joint projects and further cooperation between the two countries. The meeting follows consultations held in Czechia in March, when Prime Ministers Andrej Babiš (ANO) and Robert Fico signed a memorandum on deepening cooperation, resuming joint government meetings after a three-year break. The previous Czech government, led by Petr Fiala (ODS), suspended the consultations in 2024 over foreign policy differences, particularly Slovakia's position on arms supplies to Ukraine following Russia's invasion.
