Further talks on new govt in Germany likely only in 2018

After SPD said Friday they're open to holding talks

(ANSA) - BERLIN - Julia Kloeckner, a deputy leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party CDU says that talks with the center-left Social Democrats on forming a government coalition will likely only take place at the beginning of next year.

Talks between Merkel's conservative bloc and two smaller parties to form a previously untried coalition collapsed a week ago. The Social Democrats - Merkel's partners in the outgoing government - initially refused to consider a repeat coalition, but said Friday they're open to holding talks. (ANSA).
