Miroslav Lajčák, after resigning from his position as an advisor to the Prime Minister, expressed feelings of foolishness regarding his past communication with Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing the narratives around Epstein as stemming from male ego. In an interview, he characterized his interactions with Epstein as useful for Slovakia, emphasizing that diplomacy often hinges on personal connections.

However, analysis of thousands of pages of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice does not indicate any tangible benefits for Slovakia arising from Lajčák's dealings with Epstein. The documents suggest more of a one-sided relationship where Epstein was attempting to leverage his connection with Lajčák to secure a job for a young woman closely associated with him. This has led to questions about the appropriateness of such interactions and the impact on Lajčák's reputation.

Publicist Jakub Pohle was the first to highlight Lajčák's involvement in this concerning predicament, revealing messages where Lajčák assured Epstein, "I will take care of it," in reference to job placement for a victim of Epstein. This revelation raises ethical dilemmas regarding Lajčák’s judgment and the nature of diplomatic relationships, and it has provoked public discourse on the acceptable boundaries of networking in diplomacy.
