In an interview with ANI, Setinc said that India and Slovenia have been discussing issues about Pakistan and ties between India and Pakistan. He stated that India will take up the question at the United Nations Security Council.

On his meeting with all-party delegation, he said, "Of course this was a very important meeting for us. Delegation from India is a very powerful delegation transmitting the message which is getting very well down in Slovenia and wider, of course. Nobody is supportive of terrorism. But, of course, we have been discussing wider issues about Kashmir, Pakistan, relations between India and Pakistan. And of course, we very much worry that this situation doesn't escalate further. That's why we will be transmitting, not us, but our government, the message across the European Union as well as in we are members of the Security Council at the moment and this question will be definitely put forward by India in the United Nations."

"Continuing their engagements during their second day in Slovenia, the all-Party delegation led by Hon'ble MP Smt. @KanimozhiDMK called on H.E. Marko Lotric, President of the National Council of Slovenia. The delegation conveyed India's resolute stance of zero tolerance towards terrorism and the new normal after Operation Sindoor. They appreciated Slovenia's role as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in promoting global peace and its unequivocal condemnation of terrorism that needs to be eradicated," Indian Embassy in Slovenia posted on X.

The delegation is in Slovenia to brief Slovenian leaders on India's Operation Sindoor in response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 civilians were killed, and cross-border terrorism.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people and injured several others.

Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. The Indian Armed Forces responded effectively to subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases. India and Pakistan agreed for cessation of hostilities on May 10.
