Head of state
Verified
The Environment Ministry has had no minister since Tomáš Taraba's dismissal on 2026-09-30; Prime Minister Robert Fico runs it temporarily. SNS has nominated Filip Kuffa, but no appointment had been reported by 2026-10-13. The government's list of members (vlada.gov.sk, updated 2026-01-27) still mixes current and former ministers and lists Taraba, so cabinet seats are sourced from Wikipedia rather than verified. Ministers marked Independent were nominated by Smer (Ráž, Migaľ) or SNS (Šimkovičová).
