Bratislava, July 3 (TASR) - Leading of four parties of the emerging coalition - SDKU-DS, Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) and Most-Hid - have definitely agreed on signing their Coalition Agreement, premier-designate Iveta Radicova informed on Saturday.
"We've got all the topics settled," she said after the talks, which were resumed after being suspended for a day - over the issue of the powers of the deputy premier for minorities, a post that is reserved for Most-Hid. The ethnic-reconciliation party, smallest of the four, had been complaining about too narrow powers of the vice-premier's office - such as those in education-related agenda, and the right to allocate grants to cultural institutions.
Radicova said she was happy to see all four sides agreeing on the plan to strengthen the powers of the deputy premier post.
The four centre-right parties are to sign the Coalition Agreement on Tuesday, July 6.
