Prague - Czech President Vaclav Klaus Friday appointed Prime Minister Jan Fischer's caretaker cabinet that is to complete the Czech Republic's six-month presidency of the European Union and lead the country to October early polls.
Fischer's cabinet replaced the three-party center-right government of Mirek Topolanek, which had ruled since January 2007 until being ousted in a parliamentary vote of no-confidence on March 24, mid-way through the country's EU term ending June 30.
