New coalition ready to assume government as of December 16-Fiala

The coalition of Together and the Pirates/Mayors and Independents is prepared to assume government as of December 16 and any postponement behind this date would be bad news, next Czech PM and ODS leader Petr Fiala told CTK today. President Milos Zeman is to appoint Fiala as the new prime minister on Sunday. Zeman was originally to do so at noon today, but cancelled his programme over his new hospitalisation following his positive test for COVID-19 on Thursday.
