UN General Assembly
2024

I'm representing a small or mid-size, depends on the level of self-confidence, country, uh, coming from, um, Central Europe, a landlocked one, and I have to tell you that we do consider it as nonsense and unacceptable that the representatives of the big powers are not ready to talk to each other, because the fact that they don't talk to each other, that poses a serious security risk on us. And there's another risk that they don't talk to each other. If they don't talk to each other, then the world can easily be divided into blocks again, and that's a nightmare for us. Why? Because we have already experienced it once. We have lost 40 years of our lives, four decades, when the world was divided into blocks. Therefore, we have to speak very clearly. We don't want such kind of period to come back. We don't want the world to be divided into blocks again. And I would like to, um, disillusion everybody.
