Fico: EU Leaders Made Mistake by Missing End of WW2 Anniversary in Beijing
Martin Fabok
Beijing/Bratislava, 3 September (TASR) – Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) expressed regret on Wednesday over the absence of top leaders from European Union (EU) member states at the 80th anniversary commemorations of the end of the Second World War held in Beijing, China.
Speaking in a video posted on social media, Fico described the commemorations, which concluded with a military parade, as a “globally significant event”.
„Chinese President Xi Jinping made it very clear that the world is facing a choice between peace and war, and that China is willing to play a decisive role in shaping a new global peace arrangement.
In any case, even the most ideologically driven critics of China can no longer ignore the comprehensive progress the country has achieved,” Fico said at the beginning of his speech.
„I once again express regret that top representatives of EU member states were absent from such a global occasion.

Serbia has established itself as a formidable sporting nation with a population of just under 7 million people.

Carlos Alcaraz beats Novak Djokovic in 3 sets at the US Open to reach 3rd Grand Slam final in a row
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz used his youth, athleticism and creativity to assert himself against the much more accomplished, but also much older, Novak Djokovic and beat the 24-time major champion 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 at the U.S. Open on Friday for a berth in his third consecutive Grand Slam final.
By the end, Djokovic seemed resigned to the result. The 38-year-old from Serbia reached the semifinals at all four Slams this season but exited in that round each time.
The No. 2-seeded Alcaraz’s victory means he will face either No. 1 Jannik Sinner or No. 25 Felix Auger-Aliassime for the championship on Sunday, when President Donald Trump plans to attend.
Alcaraz is seeking his sixth major title and second at Flushing Meadows. He defeated Sinner at the French Open in June and lost to his rival at Wimbledon in July.
