The four Slovakian parties set to form a government agreed today on the distribution of the ministerial posts, said Iveta Radicova, who is set to be the nation's first female premier, dpa reported. The agreement clears the last remaining hurdle to the formation of a new government after the parties agreed last week on a government programme. Radicova's right-wing SDKU party will head the foreign and finance ministries and two other minister positions in addition to holding the prime minister post. Her coalition will feature the Christian Democrats led by former EU commissioner Jan Figel, the free-market liberal Freedom and Solidarity party of economist Richard Sulik, and the Most-Hid party of the Slovak-Hungarian reconciliation advocate Bela Bugar. The second-largest partner, the Freedom and Solidarity party will chose four ministers and its leader will occupy the position of parliamentary president. The other two parties will each hold three ministry posts.
