Overview

• ANO’s leader says an outline coalition agreement could be ready by week’s end, with a full pact before the lower house meets on Nov. 3.
• Andrej Babiš says his government would provide no state budget funds for weapons to Ukraine, urging sales by Czech arms makers or support via EU mechanisms.
• He now calls the ammunition initiative a good idea in principle, seeking a review, more transparency, and possible NATO oversight.
• Motorists support continuing the scheme, while the far-right SPD rejects military aid to Ukraine and wants broader cuts including support for refugees.
• President Petr Pavel has urged keeping the program and will appoint the next prime minister after the new chamber’s first session, as Babiš also signals opposition to upcoming EU fuel-ETS and migration burden-sharing plans.
