ANO and potential partners in Prague Social Democrats and Three-Party coalition to hold talks

Potential partners at Prague City Hall ANO, the Social Democrats and the Three-Party coalition will meet at the end of the week for negotiations on a new coalition, the Czech News Agency reports. Prague Social Democrat leader Miloslav Ludvík (the head of Motol Hospital) said that ANO and Social Democrats representatives had found no major hurdles when comparing programmes. ANO won the municipal elections in Prague at the weekend, securing 17 seats, just ahead of right-of-centre party TOP 09, with whom they said they would not cooperate. If ANO, the Social Democrats and the Three-Party coalition (which includes the Greens) reach deal, they will hold a slim majority of 33 seats out of 65 at Prague City Hall.
