Slovakian Economic Ministers Reject Hankook Investment

An internal meeting of ministers in Economic ministers from Slovakia has recommended that the investment between Hankook and Slovakia should not be approved by the government. Jan Slota, chairman of the nationalist non-parliamentary SNS party, considers Monday’s decision by the economic group to be harmful to Slovakia’s business interests. According to Mr Slota, the decision means that Slovakia will fall further and further behind the other countries in the area. Mr Slota also suggested that other lobbying interests are causing finance minister Ivan Miklos’ negative attitude towards the Korean investment.
