ence following regular Monday coalition talks, his deputies will submit a draft law to Parliament to decrease the quorum necessary for the election of the head of the state in the second ballot. The proposal suggests 76 votes (a simple parliamentary majority) instead of the current 90 votes (a constitutional majority) necessary to have the president. If Sečanský is not elected the head of state, the SNS will field its own candidate to run for the presidency, Slota announced and specified that his party has two candidates for the presidential office. One is a long-time member of the party, and the second is faction-less. The SNS leader declined to comment on the Slovak Prime Minister`s Friday statement that representatives of VSZ Holding (steel giant) should be represented in the Cabinet and Parliament. He just said, "We would never put it in this way if we wanted to push somebody in the Cabinet." He considers Mečiar`s statement to be a declaration of the HZDS chairman rather than the Prime Minister`s formulation.
