Swiss may not support European for IMF post

Switzerland will support the best candidate for the top job at the International Monetary Fund and will not necessarily back a European, the Alpine state's top official at the global lender told a paper on Sunday.
In an interview with Der Sonntag, IMF Executive Director Rene Weber said: "Switzerland is not a priori supporting a European. For us the qualifications, the track record, and the requirements of the mandate - maintaining stable currency and financial relations - are key."
Given the eurozone debt crisis, having a non-European head could even be preferable, Weber said.
