Robert Fico, the Slovak Prime Minister, stated that if his party, SMER, does not resolve the current crisis with coalition partners by February 17, he will unilaterally decide on government restructuring and submit proposed changes to President Peter Pellegrini. Environmental Minister Tomáš Taraba added that Fico wants early elections if no agreement is reached. Despite ongoing negotiations, the coalition's plans remain unclear. Fico visited the presidential palace for discussions with Pellegrini, but details were not disclosed. Coalition partners expressed commitment to maintaining the government, while the opposition has submitted a vote of no confidence due to various issues. Fico accused the opposition of plotting a coup, while protests against his pro-Russian policies have emerged. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
