Coalition negotiators finalize agreement

The three parties of the emerging centre-right government have finalized the details of their coalition agreement. The document, which outlines a joint policy in key areas of administration, is to be signed on Monday after it has been reviewed by the leaderships of the Civic Democratic Party and TOP 09. Public Affairs –the third party in the emerging government – is getting a broad mandate from all its members through a referendum held over the Internet. The division of government posts has already been agreed on. President Václav Klaus plans to appoint the new government on Tuesday.
