Slovak Deputy Speaker of Parliament Andrej Danko arrived in Moscow on Sunday, Russian state-run TASS news agency reported, as Bratislava seeks a solution following Ukraine's decision to halt Russian gas pipeline deliveries to Europe. Danko's visit, planned before the gas dispute, will continue until Wednesday, TASS and Slovak news agency TASR reported. On Friday, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised that Russia's state gas company Gazprom would find alternative ways to deliver contracted gas to Slovakia after the end of transit through Ukraine.
