Czech centre-right leader Petr Fiala said on Wednesday that President Milos Zeman had informed him he would appoint him as prime minister on Nov. 26.

The Together coalition led by Fiala and a coalition of the progressive Pirate Party and the centrist Mayors won a parliamentary majority in the central European country's Oct. 8-9 election and pledged to replace the outgoing government of Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
