Furthermore, a regional daily newspaper claims to have an official record of the classmate talking about his connections to "Jan" from the ministry. The opposition is calling for an in-depth audit of the ministry and for the contract, which is paid from European Union funds, to be examined.

The Pravda daily broke the story that the Academia Istropolitana and the State Institute of Professional Education, both funded by the Education Ministry, awarded two contracts to a company, Consulting--Education, which is owned by Mikolaj's former classmate Marian Kovacik. The first contract, from Academia Istropolitana, was worth E730,000 and was paid for "complex organisational management of education," according to the daily.

The two contracts netted almost E1.6 million for the firm, which was established shortly before the competition.

"It has been arranged with Jan we will make sure that he is happy and that he supports us and then we will settle the rest," Kovacik allegedly said to a clerk at the academy, according to an official record dated October 2007 obtained by the daily.

However, Mikolaj denied interfering with the tender and suggested that there are about 220,000 people named Jan in Slovakia. Though he admitted knowing Kovacik, he also said he does not know the business Kovacik is involved in.
