Government formation and program

After the second government of Prime Minister Vladimír Mečiar (1992-1994) was overthrown by a vote of no confidence on March 15, 1994, a short-term nine-month interim government was formed under Jozef Moravčík, which ruled the country until the early elections in September 1994. During this time, the Moravčík government took a clearly pro-Western course, advocated rapid privatization of the economy and now took out a long-rejected IMF loan of 265 million US dollars from Mečiar. In foreign policy, the new government tried to replace relations with Russia by intensifying contacts with Ukraine under Leonid Kravchuk . Domestically, the government was able to improve the cultural situation of the Hungarian minority by adopting bilingual place-name signs for settlements with a population of more than 20% Hungary.
