Forming a government and receiving the confidence of parliament by the end of January would be a "great" result, said Zbynek Stanjura, senior lawmaker for the opposition centre-right Together coalition on Tuesday.

Together and the liberal Pirates/Mayors group won 108 seats in the central European country's 200-seat lower house of parliament in an election that ended on Saturday and hope to oust Prime Minister Andrej Babis from power.
