The Slovak's vowing to tackle what he describes as "barbed wire" mentality dividing the bloc.

Sefcovic is seeking the nomination of the EU parliament's second biggest party, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

"In my programme, you will find more ideas and solutions that I believe will make the European Union stronger," said Sefcovic.
