PRAGUE, April 13 (Reuters) - A Slovak court has found the country's national bank governor and European Central Bank policymaker Peter Kazimir guilty of bribery and has fined him 100,000 euros in the case, the court said on Thursday. The decision in the case, dating back to when Kazimir was a finance minister in a past government, has not taken legal effect and can be appealed, the court said in a statement.
