    Czech President Vaclav Klaus said on 
Monday he would appoint a new government on Tuesday, a 
three-party cabinet which may prove short-lived because it lacks 
a parliamentary majority. 
    The government must win support form at least one leftist 
deputy to survive a confidence vote which must be held within 30 
days of the cabinet's appointment.  
    No opposition deputies have pledged to support the cabinet, 
though two have left their party clubs in parliament to sit as 
independents. 
   The following is the distribution of cabinet seats and key 
ministers: 
 * Right-wing Civic Democrats (ODS) will hold nine seats, the 
centrist Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) will hold five seats and 
the centrist Green Party (SZ) will hold the remaining four 
seats. 
 * Prime Minister....................Mirek Topolanek (ODS) 
   Deputy Prime Minister.............Alexandr Vondra 
   (independent nominated by ODS) 
   Deputy Prime Minister and 
   Environment Minister..............Martin Bursik (SZ) 
   Deputy Prime Minister and Regional  
   Development Minister..............Jiri Cunek (KDU-CSL)
