Slovak Prime Minister Igor Matovic said on Sunday he was prepared to step down to calm down a crisis in his four-party coalition, if his coalition partners agreed to several conditions including a cabinet seat for himself.
The year-old, four-party coalition has long suffered from disputes over Matovic's management style, which boiled over earlier this month after he bypassed his partners and ordered shipments of the Russian Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine without their knowledge.
