Bratislava, March 19 (TASR) - It is 15 years on Friday since the signing of the Treaty on Good Neighbourly Relations and Friendly Co-operation between Slovakia and Hungary, Slovakia's Foreign Ministry noted on the same day.
"The signing of the treaty in Paris on March 19, 1995 wasn't only a significant two-sided act, but without any doubts it also had a broad international effect in the context of the re-uniting Europe," said ministry spokesman Peter Stano.
The Slovak ministry views the treaty as the fundamental document for developing bilateral co-operation between Slovakia and Hungary.
"The treaty has been an expression of our countries' resolution to be part of the European Union built on the principles of freedom, democracy, justice, equality and guaranteeing human rights. The fifteen years of the existence of this treaty have proven it justified and viable. Similarly as at the time of the signing, it also shows today that Slovakia cares about constructive dialogue with all its neighbours and partners so that our relations will be a contribution rather than a burden for European politics," added Stano.
