The prime minister refused to comment on the latest public opinion poll results, which show support for Smer at nearly 50 percent.

"We have never commented public opinion polls," he said.

According to results of the public opinion research institute at the Slovak Statistics Office, ÚVVM, conducted in July, Smer would be able to form a government with just one coalition partner. SITA
