Filip said he presumed the Greens would propose as another candidate Jan Svejnar in further talks between the KSCM, the Social Democrats and the Greens. However, Svejnar is not backed by the Communist electorate, Filip said. "I am not interested in any conflict with our voters.
Talks about a different candidate are necessary," Filip said. On Saturday, the Czech Parliament failed to elect the new president in a public vote held by both of its houses, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Incumbent President Vaclav Klaus, proposed by the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), was short of one vote to win in the third, last round of the election. However, he defeated his rival Svejnar, nominated by center-left parties, in all the three rounds. The next presidential election is fixed for February 15.
