According to him, Slovenia has also expressed support for opening negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU as soon as possible.

Quote: "Slovenia's support for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration became an important topic, in particular, our country's efforts to implement NATO standards, which was also reflected in the joint declaration. We are sincerely grateful for Slovenia's clear position in supporting Ukraine's acquisition of NATO membership! Strongly and without hesitation," the deputy head of the Office of the President noted.

Details: According to Zhovkva, this is already the ninth country with which Ukraine has signed a joint declaration of support for its Euro-Atlantic aspirations after the Czech Republic, Belgium, Montenegro, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, Latvia, and Iceland.
