Slovakia's Fico agrees deal with partners for control of government ministries to bolster coalition

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has agreed to a cabinet reshuffle that gives his Smer party control of more ministries to stabilize the government coalition.
Fico's two junior coalition partners, Hlas and the Slovak National Party, will each give up control of one ministry to Smer.
The changes aim to help Fico regain a parliamentary majority by negotiating with rebel lawmakers who have broken away from the coalition partners.
