Communist leader Vojtech Filip, who also met President Klaus on
Thursday, said that he informed the president that his party sees a
government of national unity as a way out of the political stalemate.
He reiterated that the Communists are prepared to vote for a
constitutional amendment allowing for early elections but he stressed
it does not mean they favour such a solution. Mr Filip said the
Communist Party would back a centre-left government of the Social
Democrats and the Greens or a part of the Christian Democratic Party.
According to the head of the Communist parliamentary party, Pavel
Kovacik, the Communists will not support any kind of covert grand
coalition of the Civic, Social and Christian Democrats, suggested in
previous days by the Christian Democratic Party.
