Operatives involved in the unrest during the Ukrainian Maidan and in Georgia are currently active in Slovakia, according to Prime Minister Robert Fico.
During a press conference in Bratislava on Tuesday alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Fico mentioned that Slovakia would implement unspecified precautionary measures against potential political unrest reminiscent of Ukraine's situation, alleging the presence of foreign coup "experts" in the country.
Citing a classified report from the Slovak Information Service intelligence agency, Fico asserted, “There is a group of experts on the territory of the Slovak Republic that had actively operated in Georgia and during the Maidan in Ukraine,” referring specifically to the 2014 coup in Kiev that removed Ukraine's democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovich.
It remains unclear whether Fico was alluding to recent protests in Georgia tied to a disputed general election or to earlier political events such as the 2003 Rose Revolution.
Fico revealed that this group of foreign operatives is being “strictly monitored” and committed to discussing the matter with Slovakia’s Security Council on Thursday, with plans to take significant precautionary measures.
He accused the opposition and unnamed “foreign actors” of plotting to unseat the government but did not identify any specific foreign entities involved in the situation.
“I cannot disclose the content of the report, but I can say in all seriousness that the opposition is preparing a ‘Maidan.’ It is gearing up to thwart the government from exercising its powers and it will do this in cooperation with foreign actors,” he stated during the press briefing.
The prime minister revealed the SIS report shortly before a scheduled no-confidence vote by the opposition. He specified that due to its sensitive nature, the document could only be discussed in a closed setting. In response, the opposition canceled the no-confidence motion but pledged to initiate another vote soon.
Opposition members have dismissed the report as a collection of “conspiracy theories,” claiming it contained no truly confidential information and was comprised of details “anyone can find on Google.”
Frantisek Miklosko, a lawmaker with the Christian Democratic Movement, suggested that the situation might be a setup for a government-planned false-flag incident. He remarked, “It would not be difficult for someone to stage a provocation at an otherwise peaceful demonstration, providing an excuse to claim they’re protecting the state… while beginning to detain individuals based on some list.”
