  • Slovakia on Friday banned a Georgian military volunteer who has been fighting in Ukraine and nine other people from entering the country, saying he was involved in an opposition plot to overthrow the government.

Slovakia has banned a Georgian volunteer and nine others from entering the country as part of Prime Minister Robert Fico's efforts to address what he describes as a coup plot. This action follows Fico's return to power in October, after which he has been vocal about alleged conspiracies against his government. The Georgian volunteer, who was involved in humanitarian efforts during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, was detained at the Slovak-Ukrainian border and subsequently banned for three years. Fico's administration has been criticized for its stance on Ukraine, with Fico himself questioning the country's sovereignty and opposing military aid to Ukraine. This move is part of a broader crackdown on what Fico claims are foreign influences and threats to his government's stability.
