The second round of presidential elections was held in Slovakia on April 6, resulting in a victory for Peter Pellegrini, a representative of Robert Fico's coalition.

According to data from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, Pellegrini gathered 53.12% of the votes, outpacing his opponent, former Foreign Minister Ivan Korchok, who received 46.87%.

Korchok conceded defeat and expressed his disappointment with the election results.

It is important to note that in the first round of the presidential elections, Korchok was ahead, but ultimately lost the presidential race to Pellegrini.

Greeting Pellegrini's victory, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called it significant for peace advocates across Europe.
