Slovakia’s government has approved a controversial overhaul of state TV and radio. Populist Prime Minister Robert Fico said the changes were needed because the public broadcaster - known as RTVS - is politically biased. It “is in conflict with the Slovak government,” he claimed. The proposed changes would mean RTVA will be replaced by a new organisation. Slovakia's parliament, where Fico’s coalition government has a majority, is expected to approve the changes in June. The takeover plan was drafted by Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová, who represents the Slovak National Party, an ultra-nati...

Slovakia stopped production at its last coal-fired power plant this week. Its electricity will now come almost entirely from nuclear and renewable sources. The Vojany power station, located in the Michalovce district in eastern Slovakia, opened in 1966. Slovenské elektrárne, the company that owns the plant, announced that all of the electricity generated in the Eastern European country will be free of direct CO2 as of June 2024. Slovakia originally slated its coal phaseout for 2030 but has now expedited this to mid-2024, when it will join Belgium, Austria, Sweden and Portugal as a coal-free co...

The winner will replace Zuzana Čaputová, Slovakia's first-ever female president and a staunch backer of neighbouring Ukraine. Korčok, who firmly supports his country's...
