President Klaus will respect agreement reached

President Klaus’s spokesman Ladislav Jakl told Wednesday’s Mladá fronta Dnes daily that the president would respect the agreement reached. Mr. Klaus, whose task it is to appoint a prime minister designate, said last week that he was ready to appoint any politician who could prove that he had majority support in the lower house. Neither the ruling coalition nor the opposition can hope to achieve this without reaching an agreement that would win broad support. Should they fail to agree the president could propose a cabinet of his own choice.
