PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic's next government could be dependent on the support of the Communist party for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the likely next prime minister said on Tuesday.

The central European country has been mired in a political stalemate since its centre-right cabinet collapsed in June in a graft scandal. Parliament is to vote on Tuesday on dissolving itself, which would trigger an early election.
