Slovakia’s prime minister will resign Tuesday to quell a month-long political crisis triggered by his decision to buy coronavirus vaccines from Russia, according to Eduard Heger, who will replace him.
Premier Igor Matovic is stepping down after party leaders from his coalition complained that he agreed to buy 2 million shots of Russia’s Sputnik V behind their backs, a dispute that has triggered the resignations of a third of his 16-member cabinet.
