Fico: Slovak gold at Bank of England should be returned

The investment gold that Slovakia has stored at the Bank of England should return to Slovakia, Smer-SD party head Robert Fico said on Thursday. The gold, weighing 31.7 tonnes, is worth approximately 1.3 billion euros. The bill that will serve as a request to initiate the process should by presented by 30 MPs at an extraordinary session. According to Fico, the reason behind the decision is an impending financial crisis as well as the instability stemming from Brexit.
