In the Slovak Republic, the National Party led by former Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar received the most votes in the parliamentary elections. However, it is not expected to be included in the next government. According to election officials, the Slovak Democratic Movement led by Mr. Meciar garnered 19.5% of the total votes, but since other parties are unwilling to cooperate with this movement, it has no chance of forming a cabinet. Three center-right parties in Slovakia, with 35% of the votes, are predicted to form a coalition majority with a new party supporting economic activities, which is in favor of Slovakia's membership in NATO and the European Union.
