Slovakia’s president, who has faced years of attacks by the opposition for her commitment to transatlantic ties and support for Ukraine, said she won’t seek re-election in 2024.
President Zuzana Caputova, one of four female heads of state in the 27-member European Union, said in a statement on Tuesday she won’t run again as she lacks energy to face another five-year term in office.
