Bratislava, June 28 (TASR) - The four centre-right parties have reached an agreement on divvying up ministries, premier designate Iveta Radicova (SDKU-DS) told journalists after the coalition's session on Monday.
SDKU-DS is to receive the most ministries, including the finance, education, foreign affairs and justice ministries and, most importantly, the premier's post.
Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) will assume responsibility for the defence, labour, culture and economy ministries.
The Christian Democrats (KDH) will take over the interior, health care and transport ministries, with Bela Bugar's Most-Hid party receiving the agriculture and environment ministries along with the post of vice-premier for minorities.
The coalition quartet also made an agreement that SaS will have the right to nominate the Parliamentary Chairman.
