Bratislava, 13 January (TASR) - President Peter Pellegrini held a traditional New Year's lunch with former heads of state Rudolf Schuster, Ivan Gasparovic, Andrej Kiska and Zuzana Caputova at the Presidential Palace on Tuesday.
The ex-presidents tucked into young rabbit paté with apricot jam and brioche, followed by an oxtail broth with julienne vegetables and chives. Also on the menu were pulled beef brisket with pears, root vegetables and potatoes or veal osso buco with saffron risotto and citrus gremolata. For dessert, they had pistachio tiramisu with cocoa chips.
"The protocol team has experience with nearly all the previous presidents. Therefore, it's really easy for them [to compile the menu], as they remember exactly what the presidents liked and didn't like," said the president's spokesperson Patricia Medved Macikova.
