ROME (Reuters) - Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi repeated on Monday that centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani must go into coalition with his centre-right group or Italy should hold a new vote after last month's deadlocked election.

Democratic Party leader Bersani, whose alliance won a majority in the lower house of parliament but not in the Senate, is in talks with parties this week to see if he can form a government. He has so far rejected the idea of going into coalition with the centre-right group led by Berlusconi's People of Freedom party.
