The European Commission has confirmed that Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has requested a meeting with President Ursula von der Leyen, which is currently being arranged. This meeting is critical as it will focus on the recent halt in oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline, a vital route for oil transportation between Russia and Europe.

The Deputy Chief Spokesperson for the European Commission, Olof Gill, mentioned that discussions regarding the Druzhba pipeline are anticipated to be a key point on the agenda during this meeting. The halt in oil supplies has raised concerns over energy stability in Slovakia and potentially across Europe, which has been increasingly reliant on alternative energy sources amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

As the meeting is still being finalized, Gill did not elaborate on the specifics of the discussions but indicated that several pertinent topics, likely emerging from the situation with the Druzhba pipeline, would be addressed. The outcome of this meeting may have implications for regional energy policies and the broader relationship between Slovakia and the European Union, especially in the context of energy security and supply management.
