PRAGUE (Reuters) - The next Czech government will not adopt the euro, the man tipped to be the finance minister in the new centre-right coalition said on Tuesday.

Although the five parties forming coalition are generally in favour of the eventual adoption of the euro, it has not been high on their agenda for the next four-year term.
