Slovakian President Andrej Kiska announced this week that he would not run for re-election. The office is mostly ceremonial, but Kiska has been perhaps the government official most trusted by the public since he took office in 2014. He stands as an opponent of Russian attempts to expand its influence over former Soviet states and Warsaw Pact nations, including its 2014 invasion of eastern Ukraine.
