In Slovakia, the presidential election has reached a critical juncture with voters set to decide between Peter Pellegrini, associated with the ruling nationalist coalition, and Ivan Korcok, an opposition independent. The election, characterized by deep divisions over the Ukraine war, sees Pellegrini's coalition opposing military aid to Ukraine. Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar has expressed interest in how the candidates plan to protect Central and Eastern European security interests. Meanwhile, Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico seeks to mend ties with Vietnam, seven years after relations became strained, highlighting a diverse foreign policy agenda amidst the electoral process. The latest polls show a tight race between Korcok, who holds a pro-Western stance with 49% support, and Pellegrini, who leans towards a Russia-friendly position, with 51% support. Slovak social-democrats urge voting to prevent future wars.
