PRAGUE (Reuters) - Slovakia will hold early parliamentary elections on Sept. 30 after the leaders of the country's previous coalition government agreed on a constitutional change to bring forward the vote from February 2024, Slovak news site Dennik N reported on Sunday.

The party leaders moved in after an opposition referendum on holding an early election failed to attract enough voters on Saturday.
