Election24: Harabin: There's Strong Public Demand for Patriotic President

Bratislava, March 24 (TASR) - The public demand for a patriotic president is quite strong, presidential candidate Stefan Harabin, who ended up third on almost 12 percent of votes, told the media on Sunday. Harabin, who wishes to pursue Slovakia's neutrality, expects the future head of state to respect the Constitution, laws, international treaties and make sure that Slovakia won't be dragged into the war. "My voters know what they should do. They're patriotic and their priority is the preservation of the state, national sovereignty and peace," Harabin replied to the question as to whether he would endorse any other candidate's bid in the run-off round. mf
