Czech President Milos Zeman sees no problem with appointing opposition leader Petr Fiala as the new prime minister, the president said in his first public remarks since the country's Oct. 8-9 parliamentary election.

Zeman, who was rushed to intensive care at the Prague the Central Military Hospital on Oct. 10 with undisclosed diagnosis, said in an interview on Frekvence 1 radio taped earlier on Friday that he felt well and was prepared to complete his mandate lasting until 2023, according to Reuters.
