The Presidential Palace has not yet resolved the question of the nominations of Peter Kmec and Miroslav Radačovský for ambassadorial posts. The planned ceremony at the Presidential Palace was cancelled, and former Foreign Minister Ivan Korčok suggested that the further fate of the nominations may be decided behind the scenes. ta3.com ↗
In the case of Miroslav Radačovský, attention is drawn especially to his age, 72, and his lack of diplomatic experience. The coalition MP has previously drawn attention through several controversial moments and, as a judge, also ruled in the case of former president Andrej Kiska. Criticism also appeared in a commentary piece, according to which his appointment together with Kmec's nomination would diminish the dignity of the presidential office. pravda.sk ↗
Meanwhile, Peter Pellegrini signed a series of laws. Among them is an amendment to the Family Act, which will allow members of parliament, government members, and the president to also perform weddings. Pellegrini stated, however, that he did not ask for such authority and will not use it while in office. He also signed an amendment to the Social Insurance Act, which abolishes the micro-contribution for low-income self-employed persons. hnonline.sk ↗
The president also approved changes to road traffic regulations, an increase in fines for offenses, adjustments to short-term accommodation rentals, the residence of foreigners, higher education institutions, emission quotas, and state awards. On Monday, June 15, he is to receive Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a one-day official visit to Slovakia. teraz.sk ↗
