The announcement comes amid ongoing political tensions over the management and direction of the country's public media. Separately, Richard Raši is scheduled to meet with Marian Kotleba's People's Party Our Slovakia leader Milan Uhrík at Javorina. Progressive Slovakia has been a vocal critic of the current government's approach to public media, arguing that political interference threatens editorial independence at the state broadcaster.
