PRAGUE, Oct 07 (Reuters): Czech populist billionaire Andrej Babis said he may take ministers nominated by eurosceptic and far-right parties into a government he is trying to form after his ANO party won a parliamentary election but fell short of a majority.
Babis initially said after the October 3-4 vote that he wanted an ANO-only minority cabinet backed in parliament by the eurosceptic Motorists and the far-right, anti-EU and anti-NATO SPD, but both parties demanded to be part of the government.
"We are negotiating on a common government," Babis said in a video message on Facebook.
"SPD should have some number of ministries where they want to have (non-party) experts representing them..., and the Motorists want to have their politicians there who ran in the election."
Babis has strictly rejected any such steps.
