BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) look set to form a state government with the Greens in prosperous southwestern Germany, creating a team that could be a model for a national coalition next year.
The two parties have agreed on their main policies in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and will discuss remaining issues on Friday, the source in the state government in Stuttgart said.
