Robert Fico highlights that by rule of law certain parts of a countries infrastructure are prioritised over others.

ABOUT ROBERT FICO:
First elected to parliament when Czechoslovakia was one country, Robert Fico is the current Prime Minister of Slovakia. Seen as a pragmatist and euro-realist, Fico first led the centre-left to victory in 2006.
He is known for his tense relations with journalists, accusing them of being biased, and admits to a passion for cars and football. Fico's 'Smer' party was re-elected in 2012 after the governing coalition collapsed following a corruption scandal. He became the first person ever to lead a party to an absolute parliamentary majority in modern Slovakia.
