Record ID: 4077

  • Title: Slovakia: Slovakia Begins Voting In The Second Round Of Presidential Elections
  • Date: 29th May 1999
  • Summary: Slovaks began voting in the second round of presidential elections on May 29 with the government candidate, Rudolf Schuster, the clear front runner. Though the powers of the presidency are largely ceremonial, both financial markets and foreign governments are watching the election closely; anxious to see greater stability on the country's troubled political scene. Slovakia has been without a president for more than a year because parliament was too divided to find a replacement when Michal Kovac's term expired on March 2, 1998. The rules have since been changed to allow for a direct vote of the people
