Slovak Justice Ministry Denies Change in Position on WHO Pandemic Agreement

Slovakia's Ministry of Justice rejected claims that the country has changed its stance on the World Health Organization's pandemic agreement negotiations. The ministry stated that reports suggesting Slovakia had shifted its position do not reflect reality. Officials clarified that Slovakia maintains a critical approach specifically toward negotiations on the controversial PABS annex, while distinguishing this from the main pandemic agreement itself. The WHO pandemic agreement has been under international negotiation as countries work to establish frameworks for responding to future health emergencies, with various nations expressing concerns about sovereignty and implementation details.
