Slovak PM Fico's party calls on coalition to end disputes as government frays

Slovakia's main ​ruling party Smer-SSD said on Wednesday that ​maintaining the government's majority required ‌a large ​effort and called on partners to keep internal disputes out of policy.

The comments came after a junior party in ‌the leftist-nationalist coalition on Tuesday voted with the parliamentary opposition to dismiss a minister, raising questions about the survival of pro-Russian Prime Minister Robert Fico's government a year before an election.
