Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek says a coalition he is hoping to form with the Christian Democrats and the Greens should undergo a vote of confidence by the middle of January. The Civic Democrat leader said on a TV debate programme that he would present the president with a list of cabinet members by next Thursday.
A previous attempt by Mr Topolanek to form a government with the Christian Democrats and the Greens failed as the alliance was one vote short of a majority. The Civic Democrats, who came first in elections in June, say this time they hope to win the support of deputies from other parties.

The executive council of the Civic Democratic Party unanimously agreed on Friday to begin talks on forming a government with the Christian Democrats and the Greens. A previous attempt to form such a coalition failed as the alliance was one vote short of a majority. The Civic Democrats, who came first in elections in June, say this time they hope to win the support of deputies from other parties.
However, the Christian Democrats could scupper this plan: they say they will not take part in a coalition elected with the support of turn-coat deputies.
Meanwhile, the leftist Social Democrats have issued a call on two rebel MPs to return to the party's deputies group.

Pravo said the film and photographs are sent to secret services in the USA.
