Leaders from the center-left Czech Social Democratic Party agreed on Friday to return to talks with Prime Minister Andrej Babis’s ANO party on forming a new government, Reuters reported, citing a Social Democrat source at the meeting. Babis has been trying to find coalition partners since his one-party minority cabinet lost a confidence vote in January. The Social Democrats walked away from earlier talks with Babis over disagreement regarding distribution of ministerial posts. If agreed, the coalition will still have to rely on the far-left Communist party in the parliament’s vote of confidence.
