Slovakia backs a proposed European Union embargo on Russian oil imports but needs a longer transition period until the end of 2025 to implement it, according to Economy Minister Richard Sulik.
Under the EU plan, the bloc would halt imports of Russian crude over the next six months and stop buying its refined fuels by the end of the year as part of a sixth round of sanctions to increase pressure on President Vladimir Putin over his invasion of Ukraine.
