ANO leader and finance minister Andrej Babiš met with President Miloš Zeman on Wednesday afternoon. After the meeting, he said the head of state said he would accept the government’s resignation from prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka. Babiš added that further talks about cooperation between the parties would take place next Wednesday. He added that early elections were nonsense given that elections to the lower house are scheduled to take place anyway in October.
