            At a press conference in Almedalen this morning, Minister for Employment Sven Otto Littorin announced that, due to personal reasons, he is resigning his ministerial post. In light of this, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt held a press conference in Rosenbad.<br/>&#034;Today, at his request, I accepted Sven Otto Littorin&#039;s resignation as minister and head of the Ministry of Employment. He gave me the same motives for his resignation - personal reasons - that he gave the media this morning, using the same words and descriptions. I have great respect for his decision.&#034;<br/>&#034;Also, as of today and until further notice, I have appointed Tobias Billström as head of the Ministry of Employment. This does not entail any changes regarding Tobias Billström&#039;s responsibilities at the Ministry of Justice,&#034; Mr Reinfeldt stated at the press conference.<br/>
