Slovak diplomat and former Foreign Minister (2009-2010, 2012-2018) who served as President of the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly (2017-2018). Appointed as national security adviser to Prime Minister Robert Fico in 2024. Appears in 371 documents in the DOJ-released Epstein files.
Introduced to Epstein in 2017 by Norwegian diplomat Terje Roed-Larsen. Resigned from his advisory position on January 31, 2026, after communications with Epstein were revealed in the DOJ document dump. The released files show extensive email communication between Lajcak and Epstein spanning 2017 to 2019.
In October 2018, Lajcak wrote to Epstein from Kyiv: ‘Just want to confirm that girls are beautiful here as always.’ In other exchanges, Epstein offered Lajcak women, with a note suggesting ‘he could also take their sisters.’ Lajcak also offered to connect Steve Bannon with PM Fico, writing: ‘By the way, I have someone in Slovakia for him, my former prime minister Fico. He wants to play Steve's game.’ Additional documents show Lajcak helped arrange employment for a woman connected to Epstein. When rereading the messages after their release, Lajcak told Slovak public radio: ‘When I am reading the messages today, I feel like an idiot.’ He denied wrongdoing and said he considered Epstein a valuable contact who was accepted by the powerful in the U.S.
His resignation was accepted by PM Fico.
