BRATISLAVA—Slovakians began voting Saturday to choose a new president with the outcome determining whether the EU and NATO member shifts further towards Russia.
Though the office is largely ceremonial, Slovakia’s president ratifies international treaties, appoints top judges, is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and can veto laws passed by parliament. “It is an important 12 percent that Harabin got,” political analyst Tomas Koziak told AFP, adding that “Korcok is unlikely to win those votes”.Yet Hrich said the election was “too close to call” and said turnout will be decisive.
Pellegrini was a minister in Fico’s previous governments and was head of government from 2018 to 2020 when his long-time ally was toppled. “Korcok is a warmonger, who will support everything the West tells him without hesitation, including dragging Slovakia into the war,” Fico said in a video.
