PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis's minority government approved a proposed bill on national referendums on Tuesday, setting a high ceiling on holding votes and excluding international agreements to safeguard against potential Czexit calls.

The conditions in the government-backed proposal are tougher than other ideas floated - especially those of the anti-European Union, far-right SPD party - as Babis's ANO party has sought to prevent any EU referendum in the largely eurosceptic nation.
