[ said]: I was quite curious to see how the reconstruction works were carried out. It's a nice feeling to come and see that something good was accomplished again and the splendid concert served as icing on the already delicious cake,

tasr 27-JAN-12

[-stated]: I understand that a significant number of citizens have stopped trusting politicians and the political system and think that we are not taking the right direction,

spectator 09-JAN-12

[-added that]: Experienced observers also say that the distrust emerged because of disagreement between political forces in particular European countries. This is why I am stressing the constitutional and moral duty of politicians that they must care about the success of society and not about whether their political opinions are correct.

spectator 09-JAN-12

[ said]: For every country it is good fortune when it can rely on unusual people, people [who have] moral values [which are] more important than their personal interests,

spectator 04-JAN-12

[ wrote]: I heard with sorrow the news of the death of the first democratically elected president of the Republic of Macedonia,

tasr 03-JAN-12

[ stated]: As well, we can’t expect that citizens will not be defending their social and legal rights,

spectator 02-JAN-12

[ stated]: We here at home have to decide on our own what we have to do today and what will bring us benefits in the future,

spectator 02-JAN-12

[ said]: As well, we can't expect that citizens won't be defending their social and legal rights,

tasr 01-JAN-12

[ said]: I don't doubt that many of you are asking at the moment how it's possible that this situation has gone so far. In my opinion, we should be looking for the answer in the activities of those politicians who have abandoned the citizens,

tasr 01-JAN-12

[-wrote]: We are all deeply touched by the sudden departure of prominent Czech politician and artist Václav Havel,

spectator 19-DEC-11

[ said]: Slovakia values the political and artistic message of president Vaclav Havel. He will remain in our memory forever as a charismatic and humane personality with an inimitable style of politics,

tasr 18-DEC-11

[ said]: I've requested the prime minister to make certain personnel decisions at the Military Defence Intelligence (VOS),

spectator 29-NOV-11

[-said]: Neither the cabinet nor the president can afford to wait until someone dies just because they weren’t treated appropriately,

spectator 28-NOV-11

[ said]: Not even the president can afford to wait until somebody dies because they don't receive health treatment. It would be too late to declare a state of emergency only after that. So I told Premier Radicova that my decision [in favour of declaring a state of emergency] still stands,

tasr 25-NOV-11

[ said]: [Jozef] Čentéš is a tertiary question for me,

spectator 14-NOV-11

[-said]: After meeting with the health minister and having a phone conversation with the prime minister I decided that the transformation would not go on,

spectator 07-NOV-11

[ said]: I can definitely guarantee that there won't be any transformation [of hospitals] until the new government is formed,

tasr 07-NOV-11

[ said]: It's up to Parliament to draw up the amendment. As soon as it's amended, I'll commission this government to continue in office until the election,

[ said]: It's up to Parliament to draw up the amendment. As soon as it's amended, I'll commission this Government to continue in office until the election,

[ said]: It would be beneficial for the Slovak Opposition that representatives of EU states would realise ... who saved Slovakia from a problem that would appear as if Slovakia had vetoed this step [changes to EFSF],

tasr 02-OCT-11

[-said]: It's high time to act in a responsible way. Slovakia cannot be an obstacle to stabilisation of the euro and solution to the crisis,

eubusiness 27-SEP-11

[ said]: We did not manage to increase the level of trade in the past five years, and we cannot be satisfied with its turnover reaching €7 million over the past three years,

spectator 14-SEP-11

[ said]: I would welcome a more intense cooperation between our national parliaments as well as their individual committees,

spectator 14-SEP-11

[-told]: I want to assure everybody that you can count on Slovakia's full and intensive assistance on your transatlantic journey,

tasr 13-SEP-11

[ said]: We didn't manage to increase the level of trade in the past five years. We can't be satisfied with its turnover reaching €7 million in the past three years. Slovak investments in Montenegro don't even reach €1 million,

[ said]: Volkswagen is the third-biggest car-manufacturing company, but the time will come when it will be the top one and I'm glad that Slovakia will be there,

tasr 31-AUG-11

[ said]: I'm very pleased that we don't forget it, mainly nowadays, as neofascism in Europe has begun to be rearing its head. Various terrorist groups have come to life, there's intolerance, and lack of understanding for what people need for a good life. At this place of piety, we commemorate the difficult times [of WWII], and pay our respects to those who died for the freedom we enjoy today,

tasr 29-AUG-11

[-said]: Slovakia should remain in the position of a trustworthy and responsible member of the European Union,

spectator 22-AUG-11

[ said]: Forgive but don't forget,

tasr 21-AUG-11

[-wrote]: Please pass on my condolences and deep sympathy in the name of the Slovak people to the victims' families and near ones, the citizens of the Kingdom of Norway and the people of the capital Oslo whose lives were painfully affected by this incident,

spectator 25-JUL-11

[-pointed out]: We have nothing to hide from each other. We are able to understand each other and seek solutions,

ceskenoviny 27-JUN-11

[-told]: We focused on energy, also discussing the opportunities for nuclear energy in the future. I was very pleased to hear Mr. Yanukovych assuring me that Ukraine will be a reliable partner in transporting crude oil and natural gas to Slovakia and Europe,

peopledaily 18-JUN-11

[-said]: We're talking about oil and gas supplies,

kyivpost 17-JUN-11

[-said]: The true victory will lie in destroying the al-Qaeda terrorist network around the world. This is what we must all continue to pursue,

spectator 03-MAY-11

[ said]: A political dialogue [between Slovakia and Hungary] has continued, the situation has calmed down slightly, bilateral co-operation continues, but none of the problematic issues has been resolved. Only the publishing of exchanges of opinion has been reduced,

tasr 28-APR-11

[ said]: and domestic political commitments, neglecting its commitments related to membership of the eurozone,

tasr 28-APR-11

[ said]: Our domestic consensus on the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) is in the interests of Slovakia and the further functioning of the eurozone. It's a compromise aimed at achieving a higher aim,

tasr 28-APR-11

[ asked]: Europe said a long time ago that a citizen has to be free. When a citizen is free, we don't need to speak about collective rights. Why such an impassioned return to history, which has been changed by the results of the two biggest wars in the history of mankind? Why such an attempt to export Hungarian internal affairs to the territory of neighbouring states?

tasr 28-APR-11
