Slovakia's election winner, the SMER-SSD party of former prime minister Robert Fico, will sign a memorandum of understanding with prospective government partners HLAS and SNS on Wednesday, SMER-SSD said in an email.
The three parties on Tuesday moved closer to forming a government under Fico - who has pledged to halt military aid to Ukraine - as HLAS rejected talks on an alternative coalition without Fico. REUTERS
