Slovakia's development assistance needs to be of more effective and more efficient, said Michal Mlynar, director of the Department of the International Organisations, Development and Humanitarian Aid at the Slovak Foreign Ministry on Saturday.

Mlynar also called for the increase of the country's international aid. He added that in 2016 Slovakia is putting aside only 0.09 percent of its GDP for development aid, instead of 0.7 percent, which it should.

"Of course I'm not satisfied as we don't fulfil international commitments that we took on," stressed Mlynar.

From the total volume of about 56 million euros (63 million US dollars) intended for the aid per year, approximately 50 million euros (56 million US dollars) is intended for contributions to international funds, and the rest is allocated to bilateral development assistance.

Most of Slovakia's international aid went to Kenya, Moldova and Afghanistan.
