About this person

Born 27 March 1941, Gašparovič trained as a lawyer before entering Slovak politics. He became the third president of Slovakia in 2004, stepping into a role that had seen two predecessors since independence. In 2009 he won re-election - the first and so far only Slovak president to do so. He served until 2014, his ten years spanning the country's entry into the European Union and NATO, though the source offers no details of what marked the tenure or what came after.
