Slovakia's coalition government has fallen after losing a parliamentary no-confidence vote Thursday, a move that could lead to an early election.
In the country's 150-seat Parliament, 78 lawmakers, two more than 76 needed, voted to oust the three-party minority government of Prime Minister Eduard Heger.
President Zuzana Caputova will have to appoint a new prime minister. Holding an early election is another option, if members of parliament approve it.
