President Peter Pellegrini does not expect major changes to the composition of the government this autumn, although he said individual ministers could leave their posts. He made the remarks during a Sunday political discussion programme on the private TV station TA3.
Pellegrini said he believed the coalition Slovak National Party (SNS) and its nominee, Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba, will resolve their dispute by the end of September. He added that he has not yet discussed any potential change at the head of the Environment Ministry with Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD).
Commenting on plans to remove opposition parliamentary vice-chair Martin Dubéci (PS), Pellegrini said he opposed dismissing parliamentary office-holders on an "eye for an eye" basis.
The president underlined that he will not campaign in support of any political party ahead of the 2027 parliamentary elections and that it's up to the prime minister to decide how to approach the campaign.
