In Slovakia, the reformist leader Mikuláš Dzurinda won the 1998 elections after having implemented a tough stabilization program, and he could have continued to govern after the 2006 elections if not for disagreements in his coalition.
Na Slovensku zvítězil reformně založený premiér Mikuláš Dzurinda ve volbách v roce 2002 i poté, co zavedl tvrdý stabilizační program, a nebýt neshod v jeho koalici, mohl ve vládě pokračovat i po volbách v roce 2006.
