President Andrej Kiska announced on Tuesday that he would not appoint a new cabinet in the composition that was proposed to him by designated Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini. Kiska conveyed specific objections to Pellegrini and asked him to come up with a new line-up of nominees for government members by this Friday. Kiska stressed that Pellegrini needs to form a government, the staffing of which, particularly the interior minister, should endeavour to calm down the tense climate in society.
