The Czech president agreed to meet with the head of the Civic Democratic Party, which is leading a group of five political forces that won a majority in last week’s elections and have vowed to replace Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
The meeting with Civic Democratic leader Petr Fiala will take “later,” President Milos Zeman’s spokesman, Jiri Ovcacek, said on Twitter on Wednesday, without elaborating. The president is currently hospitalized in an intensive care unit with unspecified complications of a chronic disease.
