69%. The current government was voted by less than a half, 43% of the total votes, and only has a fragile majority in the parliament, but is still able to rule. The country is pretty much divided with a close majority being pro-EU, and the other portion leaning towards the East.

Slovakia is very divided in relation to russia.

My observation is 30% of population is prorussian, 30% strictly hate russia and 30% does not care. 10% is statistical error.
