Minister Marek Krajci has announced his resignation as the government coalition risked breaking over discussions about the purchase of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine by Prime Minister Igor Matovic.

Krajci’s resignation was demanded by two junior parties in a four-party government coalition. One party outright threatened to leave the bloc altogether and another demanded a reshuffle. Both criticized the minister’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic as the nation faces one of the highest per capita death rates in the world.

“Two coalition parties made my resignation a condition for them to stay in the coalition. In such a situation, I think there was no point arguing,” Krajci said in an emotional speech on Thursday. Responding to pressure, he also said that he is not “glued” to his ministerial seat.
