Civic Democrat congress to decide on form of next cabinet

This weekend, a national congress of the Civic Democratic Party is to elect a new party leadership and also decide on the form of the next government, being put together by Prime Minister Mirek Toplanek. Mr Topolanek is seeking re-election as party head. Even though he has received support from all regional party branches and there is no other candidate for the post, he is expected to face criticism for the concessions he made to the Social Democrats during recent talks.
