The delegation is led by the Vice Speakers of the Slovak Parliament, Andrej Danko and Tibor Gašpar. It includes deputies Marián Kéry, Ján Mazgút, Richard Gluk, and Adam Lučanský. On Wednesday, January 15, they plan to meet with representatives of the State Duma of Russia.

The negotiations are expected to focus on the supply of natural gas to Slovakia and the war in Ukraine. In particular, the delegation wants to inquire whether Russian "Gazprom" can supply gas to Slovakia despite the cessation of transit through Ukraine.
It should be noted that on Sunday, December 22, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico visited Moscow, where he met with Vladimir Putin. According to Fico, this trip was a response to Ukraine's position on the transit of Russian gas to Europe.
