President discusses joining efforts in fighting possible floods with President of Slovakia
Ukrainian and Slovak Presidents agree to joint efforts in preventing consequences of possible floods and assistance to their victims.
"Given the fact that in the border areas there is a real danger of flooding, having joined our efforts we will do more than each state can on its own", said Viktor Yanukovych during his phone talks with the President of Slovakia Ivan Gasparovic.
Viktor Yanukovych has suggested coordinating the work of Ukrainian and Slovak Governments to effectively counter the floods and to eliminate their consequences. He also suggested holding an extraordinary meeting of the Slovak-Ukrainian Commission for Transboundary Water.
In his turn Ivan Gasparovic noted that the problem of flooding of some areas annually occurs in Slovakia and agreed with the President of Ukraine that joining efforts to prevent human casualties and material damage is needed.
The President of Slovakia expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Ukrainian side in this issue.
Just yesterday Viktor Yanukovych had reached agreement with the Hungarian President to coordinate efforts in prevention of floods and elimination of their consequences.
The President of Ukraine continues his efforts in establishing a joint European staff on prevention and elimination of consequences of possible floods. Soon he intends to discuss this issue with the President of Poland as well.
