The appointment will be nearly the final step in a transition of power to a new government made up of five parties that won a combined majority in an October election, ending Prime Minister Andrej Babis's rule.
PRAGUE - Czech President Milos Zeman will appoint a new centre-right government on Friday, prime minister-designate Petr Fiala said on Monday, after the president dropped his objection to one nominee that risked a court clash.
The transfer has been slowed by Zeman's hospitalisation immediately after the election to recover from an unspecified illness. Zeman has raised objections to Jan Lipavsky, a member of the Pirate Party, leading the foreign ministry, citing his "distanced" stance towards ally Israel and the central European Visegrad group that includes Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
The new government, which will seek a parliamentary confidence vote around Jan. 12, faces a resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic that has strained hospitals.
