Slovakia's three-time prime minister Robert Fico has a chance to return to power in a closely fought early election on Saturday, raising the prospect the central European country may drop its staunch support of neighbouring Ukraine.
A government led by Fico's party could forge an alliance with Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, who has been an outlier on Ukraine and spars with the EU over the rule of law.
The leading Slovak party is expected to get the first chance from liberal President Zuzana Caputova to form a cabinet. But who succeeds will depend on the results of half a dozen smaller parties as SMER-SSD and PS will fall short of a majority and need several allies in the 150-seat parliament.
