Bratislava/Warsaw, July 23 (TASR) - While on an official visit to Warsaw on Friday, Prime Minister Iveta Radicova gave assurances to Slovak journalists that it wasn't her office that provided the draft of the Government's manifesto to the media, TASR learnt on the same day.
She highlighted the fact that the paper is merely a working version of the manifesto and added that she's not actually acquainted with it.
"It's not an official document for me," she said. While not being confidential, the manifesto's final version is still being drafted, and that's why she said that she wouldn't comment on it until it's completed. The paper's final version is expected to be released on Monday (July 26).
She expressed outrage at the fact that the groundwork of the manifesto became available to journalists even before all ministries provided her with their individual manifesto chapters. "I'm indignant, I'm even more than indignant. This is another shocking thing for me," she told TASR in response to information that SDKU's coalition partners were disenchanted with the media having the drafts even before the individual parties did.
