Not all Social Democrat MPs have yet decided on new government

There are some indications that the new ruling coalition could face its first serious test when it asks for a vote of confidence in Parliament. The proposed cabinet, relying on only the slimmest of majorities in the Lower House, can not as yet count on all Social Democrat MPs' support. On Saturday MPs Jan Kavan and Vladimir Lastuvka made clear they remained undecided, saying they would take a few days to think the matter through. Jan Kavan told journalists he had reservations about the new government line-up, saying he would have preferred a cabinet led by EU diplomat - and earlier candidate for prime minister - Jan Kohout.
