Slovak President Peter Pellegrini is set to participate in a crucial meeting with the nation's top constitutional leaders on Monday. The gathering, called by Prime Minister Robert Fico, will convene at the Government Office in Bratislava.

The agenda is expected to address the political fallout surrounding Deputy Prime Minister and Environment Minister Tomรกลก Taraba. Fico indicated that discussions would cover a proposal to dismiss Taraba, who is a nominee of the Slovak National Party (SNS). However, Fico noted that this dismissal is contingent on a government reconstruction, which is not currently being prepared.

The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of maintaining a functional parliamentary majority capable of approving the state budget for 2027. The meeting follows coalition talks and separate discussions between Fico and SNS leader Andrej Danko, highlighting the delicate balance of power within the government.
