Regardless of the composition of the future government, Slovakia will become a more difficult partner for Poland than before. If the nationalist-left Smer-SSD party co-governs, complications will arise regarding cooperation in eastern and security policy. The coalition formed around the liberal Progressive Slovakia (PS) may, in turn, make cooperation within the EU more difficult.}, title={Spectre of Radical Changes: Slovakia in Flux Ahead of National Council Elections}, type={file}, keywords={Slovakia, Elections/voting, Political parties, Government policy, Political change}, }
