Summary/Abstract: Since 2006 elections the political development in Slovakia has been influenced by conflict between two blocks; this conflict culminated in parliamentary elections 2010. After these elections the centre-right coalition of SDKU, SaS, KDH and Most-Híd was formed with a majority of seats in the parliament. The author analyses the political development in Slovakia in 2006–2010 and the process of 2010 elections and focuses on general questions connected with current cleavages and relations between the political parties. He also seeks an answer on a question whether we witness new tendencies of political development in Slovakia. He concludes that although new political parties entered the Slovak parliament and participated in the formation of the cabinet, the division of the parties into two main blocks is still valid.
