Robert Fico has been appointed Slovakia’s prime minister for the fourth time and will attend an EU summit in Brussels this week, where the nation-first populist’s fellow leaders should get an early indication of how obstructive he intends to be.
President Zuzana Čaputová on Wednesday formally approved the new three-party coalition government led by Fico, whose party won elections last month on pledges to end military aid to Ukraine, slash immigration and defend Slovakian sovereignty.
