Robert Fico

 

“I can’t imagine the Slovak energy sector without nuclear power plants, which produce 55 percent of the electricity in the country. Our government will never abandon this policy and will always fight for the right to choose the way for the production of energy in the future”

Robert Fico, Prime Minister of Slovakia (source: ENEF 2017, 23 May 2017)

Bohuslav Sobotka

 

“Nuclear energy is the right option for the energy mix of the Czech Republic and there is no other way”
