Czech president says to name new govt on Tuesday

...possible step toward ending a seven-month crisis after an inconclusive election in June.

Topolanek has formed a three-party coalition with the centrist Christian Democrats, the Green Party and his own rightist Civic Democrats. But the grouping has only 100 seats in the 200-seat parliament.

Klaus had been reluctant to appoint the government saying it would not be stable since it must rely on the vote of at least one rebel deputy from the left, which controls the other 100 seats in the lower house.
