Slovakia's opposition plans a no-confidence vote against PM Fico following his Moscow visit, citing neglect of domestic issues.
(Reuters) - Slovakia's opposition parties will call a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Robert Fico's government, a party chief said on Tuesday.
The motion comes after Fico travelled to Moscow last month to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Robert Fico has left Slovakia. Instead of being in his home country and working on solving problems, he is flying around the world and bows to dictators," Michal Simecka, the head of the biggest opposition party Progressive Slovakia, told a televised news conference.

The vote is being called due to Fico's recent visit to Moscow, which the opposition sees as neglecting domestic issues.
