resume

He started his career as an entrepreneur, and even before the Velvet Revolution in 1989, he was running a computer business in his own words. In the 1990s he founded the joint stock company 1. Tatranská , which mainly dealt with the operation of ski hotels and ski lifts, as in Donovaly , Liptovské Revúce and Vysoké Tatry . Since 1999 he has owned the commercial radio station Fun rádio and has shares in several companies. He also owns several properties, such as a villa in Miami , USA .

He only graduated from a university between 2010 and 2015 at the private Stredoeurópska vysoká škola (German Central European University) in Skalica .

Political career

Kollár entered politics in 2010 with the Únia - strana pre Slovensko party (German Union - Party for Slovakia), which, however, clearly failed to make it into parliament in the 2010 election with 0.7%.

With the takeover of the party Strana občanov Slovenska (German Party of the Citizens of Slovakia) and its renaming in Sme rodina - Boris Kollár in 2015 he tried to make a political career for the second time and won 11 seats in the 2016 election as the sixth strongest party National Council, which then went into opposition.

In the 2020 election , the party landed in third place with 8.2% of the vote and 17 seats and Kollár himself was elected President of Parliament on March 20, 2020 to succeed Andrej Danko . In June 2020 Kollár was confronted with allegations of plagiarism regarding his diploma thesis and insisted that he had "lazed around", but insisted on the legality of the master's degree and that he did not have to apologize for anything. He survived the vote of no confidence he initiated on July 7, 2020 with only five votes in favor of his dismissal, with the smaller governing parties Sloboda a Solidarita and Za ľudí leaving the room shortly beforehand after both of them called for Kollár to resign voluntarily.

Personal

Kollár is known as “ Don Juan ” in Slovakia and has had several partners. These include the Czech actress Kateřina Brožová , the Slovak presenters Zuzana Belohorcová and Stanka Pavlová and the actress Karin Haydu . He is the father of ten children.
