Slovakia froze decisions to provide military aid to Ukraine after the populist opposition won the legislative elections, according to the presidential office.
Presidential spokesman Martin Strezinic told AFP that President Zuzana Caputova shares the outgoing Prime Minister's view that "decisions on this issue should reflect the result of the recent legislative elections."
According to Streznik, deciding on military aid at this moment will set a precedent for the next government, adding that the outgoing administration has limited powers.
He explained that Caputova "has not changed her position on military aid to Ukraine and will continue to support it."
The populist "Smer-SD" party led by former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico received 23% of the votes in Saturday's elections, defeating the centrist "Progressive Slovakia" party, which received 18% of the votes.
Fico was tasked with forming a new government on Monday.
