(Reuters) - A Slovak opposition party on Tuesday backed holding an early election later this year, saying talks with caretaker Prime Minister Eduard Heger to form a new majority in parliament after the fall of his government were a waste of time.

Heger's government lost a no-confidence vote in December after its former ruling partner, the libertarian Freedom and Soliday (SaS) party, joined opposition parties to defeat the cabinet.
