Coalition negotiations: Schedule and working groups

At the start of coalition negotiations, the SPD, the Greens and the FDP have set the schedule for the formation of a government. According to the schedule, the new chancellor will be elected and the government sworn in during the week of December 6. Although this is ambitious, the exploratory talks have been encouraging, said FDP Secretary General Volker Wissing before the start of the first round of talks at the Berlin Exhibition Center.
