Miklos may not accept finance minister post due to ignorance of language
Former deputy prime minister and former finance minister of Slovakia Ivan Miklos could decide not to run the post of finance minister in the government of Volodymyr Groysman due to ignorance of language.
"This is, by the way, the reason why I may decide not to run the post of finance minister," he said in an interview with the Novoye Vremia magazine published on Friday.
Miklos said that communication with society is very important for conducting reforms: participation in television debates and bringing of own position. He said that understands almost everything what is written and said in Russian, but his oral speech is not good enough.
"It is hard to take part in debates with n interpreter," he said.
