Reykjavik, September 20 (TASR) - In the building in that Iceland's capital in 1986 saw the historic meeting between U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Slovak Foreign Affairs Minister Mikulas Dzurinda on Monday encouraged Icelandic leaders in their effort to get their country into the EU.
"On this spot in 1986 the world begun to change," said Dzurinda, adding that Slovakia's eventual membership in the EU is another result of this meeting.
Icelandic politicians were mainly interested in Slovakia's experience in EU accession talks, and asked Slovakia for support chiefly in negotiations pertaining to fishing, according to the Slovak Foreign Affairs Ministry press department.
