Slovakia has always been in favour of the final settlement of the Kosovo status based upon an agreement with the decisive role of the UN Security Council in accordance with the UN-approved principles of the Contact Group.
Kosovo is not some independent territory, it is an integral part of Serbia where Serbs, and members of the Albanian ethnic minority live.
Deputy Prime Minister Dušan Čaplovič said that by declaring independence without Serbian consent, Kosovo broke international law and created a precedent.
[9][10] At a meeting in September 2009 with the Kosovan Foreign Minister, Skënder Hyseni, Mr. Lajčák said that Slovakia sees Kosovo as a sui generis case, and said "we are aware that the process is irreversible".
[11] In a subsequent visit to Belgrade, Lajčák told the Serbian government that he would not support any initiative that put recognising Kosovo as a condition for Serbia to join the EU.
[16] In April 2012, at a Global Security Forum (Globsec) conference in Bratislava, Kosovo's Deputy Foreign Minister Petrit Selimi held a meeting with the Political Director of the Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Peter Michalko, who confirmed that Slovakia supports Kosovo's European perspective and encouraged Kosovar authorities to continue the cooperation with the EU as the fastest way of normalising relations in the Balkans.
"[23] On 7 October 2022, Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger met with President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani in Prague, as part of the meetings undertaken during her participation at the European Political Community.
[24] In April 2023, Slovakia along with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Moldova and Ukraine abstained in the vote to approve Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe.
