Slovakian Prime Minister Fico offers resignation

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has offered to resign, under pressure from the opposition for his handling of a scandal over the killing of a journalist investigating political corruption.

"Today I have offered my resignation to the president of the republic" Andrej Kiska, Fico said in a public address yesterday. "If the president accepts it, I am ready to resign tomorrow."
"We call upon the Slovak authorities to do this quickly."
