He expressed his hope that this would lead to an end to the coalition crisis. And he warned that if this was repeated, his party would leave the alliance. Early last week, Kollar warned that the coalition crisis should not be prolonged further, because if an agreement is not reached by the end of next week, early elections may take place.
