President Peter Pellegrini confirmed that during the week after June 14 he will appoint new Slovak ambassadors, including Peter Kmec and Miroslav Radačovský. Kmec is to head to Rome and Radačovský to Cyprus. The president was responding to speculation following the cancellation of the planned ceremony at the Presidential Palace. ta3.com ↗
Regarding Radačovský, Pellegrini stated that the lawmaker had fulfilled all the conditions required for his appointment. Previous questions concerned mainly the fact that Radačovský has no diplomatic experience and has in the past been associated with several controversial statements. His departure to Cyprus had previously also been complicated by the fact that he had not received a key document needed to take up his credentials. aktuality.sk ↗
The topic follows on from earlier reports according to which the palace had not yet closed the matter of the nominations of Kmec and Radačovský. Former Foreign Minister Ivan Korčok suggested at the time that their further fate could be decided behind the scenes. Criticism also appeared in commentaries questioning the suitability of both nominations. SITA ↗
In the program, the president also commented on domestic political developments. He called on ministers not to be afraid of facing no-confidence motions in parliament and to defend their record. He also announced that he will deliver the report on the state of the republic in September. Parliament is to reconvene as early as Monday, with lawmakers continuing into the fourth week of the session's proceedings. teraz.sk ↗
