The Slovenian government has decided to officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, with a parliamentary vote set for June 4. Prime Minister Robert Golob emphasized that the move aims to promote peace and a two-state solution in the Middle East. Following the decision, the Palestinian flag was displayed on the Slovenian Prime Ministry building. If approved, Slovenia will join 145 other UN member countries in recognizing Palestine.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
