Liberals have a slender lead in Slovakia’s elections over a pro-Moscow party led by populist former PM Robert Fico, exit polls suggest.

The pro-Moscow party, Smer-SD, had been expected to win the vote, but polls suggest its popularity has fallen in recent days.

Smer has pledged an immediate end to military support for Ukraine.

Vote counting is continuing and the real results will not be known for several hours.

If the liberal group Progressive Slovakia is confirmed as the winner, it will lead coalition talks on forming the next government.

    I don’t understand slovakian politics, but smer “won” by a 22% in a parlamentarischen ellection. Is this that dramatic?

    Fico won the election with a pro russian rhetoric but 78% voted against it. Am i missing something?
