Miroslav Lajcak, an adviser to the prime minister of Slovakia, resigned after it was announced that his name was in Jeffrey Epstein's files. Milo Đukanović is also mentioned

 

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accepted the resignation of his advisor today Miroslav Lajčak, after allegations that his name was mentioned in the documents appeared in the public Jeffrey Epstein, reports N1.

"Lajčak has once again shown himself to be a great diplomat and I accept his offer to end cooperation, although all of us, not just me, are losing an incredible source of experience in diplomacy and foreign policy," Prime Minister Fico said in a statement.

Lajčak's departure from the position of adviser to the prime minister was demanded by representatives of the opposition, as well as the coalition, because of his communication with Epstein.

Lajčak denies

After the US Department of Justice published documents in which Miroslav Lajčak was also mentioned, the former adviser to the Prime Minister of Slovakia stated that he was never offered sexual favors, nor did he participate in those related to Epstein and the people mentioned in his "files".

"I am ready to confirm this claim in any way. As a professional diplomat, I am not so naive that I would commit any actions that could lead to my discredit," Lajcak announced, TASR reported.

Files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein also mention former President of Montenegro Milo Đukanović, reported the Vijesti portal.

Đukanović is mentioned in messages that Epstein allegedly exchanged with Slovakian politician Miroslav Lajcak.

In one of the messages, Lajčak wrote that the President of Montenegro was "looking forward to our visit", to which Epstein replied to Lajčak: "Maybe he should give shelter to Donald", and Lajčak: "Montenegro is Donald's weak point".

During the correspondence, Epstein sent Lajčak a link from the New York Post portal with a text about Montenegro and a picture of Kotor, to which Lajčak replied: "I told you that Montenegro is great."

Part of the messages were exchanged in August 2018, and part on September 21 of the same year.

In one message, Epstein told Lajchak that he would like to visit Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with him, and Lajchak replied that he loved Lavrov. In a further exchange of messages, Lajcak asks Epstein "What about visiting Montenegro on the first weekend in November", to which Epstein replies "The elections are on November 6, but I'm trying to organize".

Lajčak replies, "I haven't told them yet. But I think they will be ready."

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
