The Role of the President in the Context of the Political Changes in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to introduce a number of determinants that influence the activities of the office of the President of the Slovak republic. They caused numerous transformations, which were implemented into our constitutional order over the time. The relations between president and government within the executive power is the most common theme of amendments to the Constitution of the Slovak republic. Even the introduction of the institute of direct election for the head of state in 1999 arose as the result of strained relations between the same power entities. Therefore, there is a clear tendency taht only if both components of the executive power come from the same political background, tehy carry out their activities in a positive way. This statement can be demonstrated by the political development in Slovakia after the year 2010 - throughout the government of Iveta Radičová, as well as Robert Fico.
