PRAGUE, Jan 1 (CTK) - The commencing year 2005, in which the world will commemorate 60 years since World War Two, will on the domestic scene witness the greatly expected conference of the senior ruling Social Democrat (CSSD) party.

The party, which is tormented by internal squabbling, will in March see a battle for chairmanship between acting chairman and Prime Minister Stanislav Gross and his rival, Labour and Social Affairs Minister Zdenek Skromach.

Gross is more inclined to modernise the party and is dedicated to European integration, while Skromach wants to return the party back to its leftist roots and he is not even opposed to closer cooperation with Communists (KSCM).

Gross wants to keep the current coalition with the junior Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) and the Freedom Union-DEU (US-DEU) while Skromach does not rule out a minority leftist government.

The US-DEU, whose position on the political scene is very unstable, would welcome Gross's election.

Gross, 35, the youngest prime minister in Czech history, took over from Vladimir Spidla who resigned after the CSSD's EP elections failure in June.
