LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenian Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek threatened on Thursday to quit the government if she loses a party leadership vote this month, saying the country had no time for "games" as it seeks to avert an international bailout.

Bratusek's resignation would almost certainly trigger a snap election, delaying a raft of crisis measures to shore up Slovenia's finances and increasing the likelihood it will become the latest member of the 17-nation euro zone to seek EU/IMF aid.
