Press: President Klaus to appoint new cabinet next week

President Václav Klaus will appoint the centre-right cabinet of PM Petr Nečas next week, the online magazine reflex.cz reported on Monday, citing well informed sources from the government and the president’s office. According to the magazine, the most likely date is July 13. President Klaus appointed Civic Democrat leader Petr Nečas the country’s new prime minister on June 28. Last week, the three centre-right parties in talks on forming a coalition agreed on the make-up of the 15-member cabinet; most commentators said Mr Nečas’ party made considerable concessions to its allies – the conservative TOP 09 and the centrist Public Affairs.
