Slovakia’s governing coalition has still not agreed on who will be speaker of parliament. There was an offer between Hlas and SNS to exchange posts, but it was unsuccessful. Finance Minister Ladislav Kamenický called on coalition partners to focus on a more serious problem, namely fiscal consolidation. Time is running out and there is no agreement on the table yet. Next year, Slovakia must consolidate its public finances which amounts to approximately 1.5 billion euros.
