Prime Minister of Slovakia
The office of the prime minister of Slovakia was established in 1969 by the Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation.The Slovak Constitution provides that upon the accession to the office, each prime minister must gain and thereafter maintain the confidence of the Parliament.Designated Prime Minister of Slovakia (Slovak: designovaný predseda vlády) is an unofficial title for a person who has been entrusted by the president of the Slovak Republic with forming a new government and replacing the outgoing prime minister.This title, as well as the authorization of the president to entrust the designated prime minister, is not set by an act but is a legal or, more precisely, constitutional tradition.According to this tradition, the president designates a person who has the support of the majority of deputies in the National Council.
