Zeman Vows So That New Czech Gov’t Appointed Promptly

PRAGUE: Czech President Milos Zeman, who is being treated at Prague’s Central Military Hospital, said on Friday that he will make all efforts so that a new government is appointed as soon as possible.

“Of course, some official moments will need to be limited at the same time, for example, I will appoint this government in the (country residence) at Lana, and not at the Prague Castle,” Zeman told the Frekvencе 1 radio station.

The president, who was transferred to a regular ward from an intensive care unit this week, also said that he feels fine.

The Czech Republic voted for its next lower house on October 8-9, with the Together coalition of three Liberal parties emerging victorious. Coalition leader Petr Fiala has been nominated as a candidate for the post of prime minister.
