Social Democrats call on to President not to delay talks on new government

The Social Democrats have called on to President Vaclav Klaus not to delay talks on the establishment of a new government. Following the failure of the minority Civic Democrat government to get a vote of confidence in Parliament on Tuesday, President Klaus said he would take steps to appoint a new prime minister designate after the senate and local elections on October 21 and 22.

When it comes to entrusting someone with the task of forming a new cabinet, the president faces no time limit and is free to pick whoever appears to have the biggest chance of carrying out the task.
