Xinhua,May 31, 2018 Adjust font size:
BRATISLAVA, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Slovak Interior Minister Denisa Sakova on Wednesday appointed Milan Lucansky as the new president of the Slovak Police Corps.
Lucansky, however, will hold the post of Police Corps president only temporarily, until new legislation concerning the selection of the police chief comes into force.
In the interim he wants to focus on various challenges, such as migration and terrorism.
The appointment came after the longest-serving police chief Tibor Gaspar stepped down amid mass public protests following the murders of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kusnirova.
The protests have also resulted in the resignations of former prime minister Robert Fico and interior minister Robert Kalinak. Enditem
