BRATISLAVA/KIEV, Dec 1 (CTK) - President Rudolf Schuster today starts a three-day official visit to Ukraine, accompanied by Foreign Minister Eduard Kukan.
The trip is devised to improve bilateral relations.
There is a question of whether Schuster will highlight the problems the international community has been concerned about as did the Italian government during a recent visit by Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma through a call for internal reform and more intensified struggle against terrorism.
Ukraine is facing criticism for the suspicion that in defiance of a U.N. embargo the Ukrainian Kolchuga radar equipment was sent to Iraq.
But during the recent NATO summit in Prague where Kuchma came, although he was not invited, Schuster stood up for his counterpart.
Slovak-Ukrainian relations were marked by indifference on both sides in 1993-1998. Then the relations worsened due to the development in the United Nations.
