Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová and Czech President Petr Pavel have said that they intend to travel together to Kyiv in April.

Pavel had expressed the trip as a wish before Czech voters elected him to office on January 28.

Today, on March 13, both heads of state confirmed the plan during their meeting in Bratislava. It is Pavel’s first official trip abroad.
