Parliamentary Committee Did Not Discuss Pellegrini's 2020 Moscow Trip

The parliamentary committee responsible for overseeing Slovakia's intelligence service did not hold discussions about President Peter Pellegrini's trip to Moscow in 2020. According to the committee's deputy chairman, there was no evidence at that time of election interference by Russia or Hungary. The committee for controlling the Slovak Information Service (SIS), Slovakia's main intelligence agency, apparently saw no need to examine the visit by Pellegrini, who was then serving as prime minister before becoming president in 2024. The lack of committee review suggests the intelligence oversight body did not consider the Moscow trip a security concern requiring formal investigation.
