(Reuters) - The European Commission, which has frozen other countries' funding in similar cases, will take action against Slovakia if it enacts changes to criminal laws that violate European Union laws, EU justice commissioner Didier Reynders said on Wednesday.
Ignoring a call by the commission to move slowly, the government of Prime Minister Robert Fico has fast-tracked in parliament proposals that include scrapping a special prosecutor's office for high-profile graft cases.
