Negotiations for new coalition agreement begin

The so-called working group that has been formed to devise the addendum to the coalition agreement is meeting on Thursday for the first time. Igor Federič of SMER-SD, Ábel Ravasz of MOST-HID and Tibor Bernaťák of the Slovak National Party are the representatives of the coalition parties delegated to negotiate the points to be changed in the coalition agreement. The Slovak National Party, which revoked the original coalition agreement three weeks ago, is said to be pushing through demands such as a 13^th and 14^th salary and a more transparent disclosure of politicians' property in the new coalition contract.
