(Bloomberg) — Slovakia will hold an election Sept. 30, interim Prime Minister Eduard Heger said Sunday evening in Bratislava after negotiations with former ruling partners.

Parliament must first amend the constitution to call for an early election. The agreement of former coalition parties should guarantee it, and lawmakers are expected to approve the amendment in a parliament session beginning Jan. 24.

Heger’s government was dismissed in a vote of no-confidence in December after months of infighting over energy and inflation aid.
