H.E. Mr. Igor Pokojný:

How deep can I go and what do I know? It is a similar situation to that in Ireland. It is the same in Slovakia. It is the same in the Czech Republic. To explain, usually when diplomats are expelled from a country there is no information except the usual statement that it was a violation of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations.

This time a video was released in Slovakia and published. There was a Russian diplomat - if I am not mistaken it was a deputy military attaché - who bribed and was giving money to a Slovak national for getting some secret information and getting access to other people with this secret information. This is a laugh video. It is quite long. Personally, I was surprised that it was published but I fully understand why it was published. Especially now, in this situation people should know why such steps are taken. If you watch the video, you hear the discussion between the Russian diplomat and the Slovak national about what secret information and to what people with such information they would like to get access, and giving money. It is all on the video. There is no need to explain further. This is the best explanation.
