Prague deals with coalition composition, budget remains a point of contention

Negotiations on a new coalition in Prague are continuing, but two main points of contention remain between the parties. Politicians are deciding whether to invite a third party into the city council and who will gain control over the budget. According to developments so far, the second round of negotiations has significantly brought the final shape of the city's leadership closer, but an agreement has not yet been reached. denikn.cz ↗

The winner of the Prague elections, Petr Hlaváček of STAN, wants to present the shape of the new coalition next week. More detailed negotiations with selected partners should then begin. STAN has already met with the Pirates, the SPOLU pro Prahu movement, and Praha sobě. According to negotiations so far, three possible cooperation variants remain in play. lidovky.cz ↗

The distribution of key portfolios is also an important issue. The negotiating parties disagree mainly on who will have control over the city's finances. Concerns are also raised by the possibility of a broader coalition that a third political force might join.

The Prague elections were led throughout by STAN, followed by SPOLU pro Prahu, composed of ODS and TOP 09. Some representatives of TOP 09 reject a coalition with the ANO movement, while some possible partners have not completely ruled out such cooperation. The final composition of the Prague council will therefore depend on the outcome of further negotiations and the division of responsibilities. idnes.cz ↗
