Former Prime Minister Robert Fico and his leftist Smerd party have won Slovakia's parliamentary election,
00:06
but now they need to enter into a coalition if they are to form a government.
00:10
Fico campaigned with a pro-Russian and anti-American message that gained him 42 out of a possible 150 seats.
00:17
Slovakia is now expected to have long government-building talks.
00:22
The third place winner of the parliamentary election will be the László Párt party, which was led by Péter Pellegrini, who is standing before a big decision.
00:30
If the Smerd party, which won the election, supports former ally Robert Fico,
00:35
then a populist, pro-Russian government can be formed in Slovakia.
00:39
In that case, however, if the second place winner supports progressive Slovakia,
00:44
then Slovakia can have a European-friendly government.
00:48
Magyar Attila, Euronews, Bozsony.
00:51
Pellegrini replaced Fico as Prime Minister after anti-government street protests forced him to resign.
