Prime minister calls on deputies to not make controversial proposals

On Monday, the head of the current caretaker government, Prime Minister Jan Fischer, called on deputies of the Czech lower house to not make any further proposals or suggest initiatives that could deepen the country’s state budget deficit. Mr Fischer said that he hopes the new government will be fiscally and socially conscious at the same time. He added that he hopes the formation of a new government will be swift, and that he is prepared to dissolve the current parliament after the first session of the newly elected lower house, which could take place on June 22.
