Juraj Droba (born 25 May 1971) is a Slovak politician and businessman serving as Governor of Bratislava region since 4 December 2017.

After graduating from GWU, Droba returned to Slovakia and served as a Board Member and Director of External Communication division at Slovak Telekom.

The defectors subsequently founded the liberal wing of the Nova party led by former Minister of Interior Affairs Daniel Lipšic.

[5] Despite the rejection, Droba and another MP Eugen Jurzyca, who had previously defected from the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union – Democratic Party, joined with the loyalist SaS MPs to reestablish the SaS parliamentary faction, which had been previously dissolved as the remaining number of MPs after the defection was too low to warrant a faction.

[1] Droba won praise for prudently moving fast to close the schools in the Bratislava region following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
