Slovakia's presidential election did not bring any candidate the required absolute majority in the first round. For the two leading candidates, former Foreign Minister Ivan Korcok and former Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini, it comes down to a runoff election on April 6th.
The head of state in Slovakia primarily has representative tasks. Outgoing President Zuzana Caputova is not running for a second term. The EU and NATO country Slovakia borders Ukraine and is a neighboring country of Ukraine.
