BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Prime Minister Victor Ponta urged Romania's president on Monday not to block his attempts to form a new governing coalition as a new standoff loomed between the two bitter rivals, threatening to unnerve investors.

Ponta hopes to establish a government with the help of new allies this week after the departure of his main coalition partner last Tuesday following a series of spats, which raised concern for Romania's ability to stick to commitments made in exchange for an aid deal with the International Monetary Fund.
