The Communists and Social Democrats have agreed to form a coalition in the regional council in Ústí nad Labem, which will be headed by the Communist Oldřich Bubeníček. Mr Bubeníček will be the first communist regional governor in the Czech Republic since the fall of the Communist regime in 1989. Mr Bubeníček will have two deputies, one from each of the coalition parties. The Communist Party won 20 of the 55 seats on the Ústí council in last month’s regional elections.
