Slovakia elects Peter Pellegrini, ally of the prime minister, nationalist and pro-Russian, president. "He has made me a candidate for war and I will not forget that," says the experienced diplomat.

Turnout was 61%, the second highest since 1999, when Rudolf Schuster won the election with 75% turnout. "Since then, this is a record of votes for both the winner and the loser of the final of the presidential elections," says IPSOS polling agency.
