PRAGUE (Reuters) - The frontrunner to head a new Ukrainian government has asked Slovak politician Ivan Miklos to serve as his finance minister if he becomes prime minister, a Slovak daily said on Monday.

Miklos, who has twice served as Slovakia's finance minister, has given his preliminary approval to the offer from Volodymyr Groysman, an ally of Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko, provided he wins a guarantee that he will not have to give up his Slovak citizenship, the daily Dennik N said on its website.
