Czech President Vaclav Klaus named a new government led by rightist Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek on Tuesday as the EU member tries to extract...

...itself from a seven months long crisis sparked by an inconclusive election.

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.

The constitution calls for a confidence vote to be held within 30 days but Topolanek has said he would move faster. Key to his chances of winning the confidence vote will be two deputies who have left the leftist Social Democrat parliamentary club to sit as independents.
