BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Jeroen Dijsselbloem should stay on as the chairman of euro zone finance ministers regardless of the outcome of a Dutch election in March, Slovak Finance Minister Peter Kazimir said on Monday, adding it was time again to discuss a permanent Eurogroup chair.

Dutch finance minister Dijsselbloem has been chairing the meetings of counterparts from the 19 countries sharing the euro since the start of 2013 and is now in the middle of his second 2.5 year term that expires at the end of this year.
