President tasks Matovic with forming new government

President Zuzana Caputova tasked OLaNO party leader Igor Matovic with forming a new government on Wednesday. Matovic has already met all the prospective coalition partners -- Boris Kollar (We Are Family), Richard Sulik (Freedom and Solidarity/SaS) and Andrej Kiska (For the People), as has Caputova. The first two parties of the three have expressed interest in joining a government with OLaNO, while Kiska said that he needs to be given the green light to launch coalition talks by the party's presidium, which is due to meet on Thursday. Meanwhile, Kiska said that he would prefer a government without We Are Family, but that the final decision will be up to Matovic. Kollar reacted by saying that he and his party colleagues do have moral credibility -- an issue raised by Kiska regarding We Are Family.
