Italy's Political Future Uncertain as Talks Continue

Political experts have said a snap general election was unlikely in Italy, as crisis talks began on the government's future following Prime Minister Romano Prodi's decision to step down on Wednesday. On Thursday, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano began holding talks with an array of political leaders, in an effort to form a new government.

Napolitano's flurry of meetings Thursday were to continue Friday, consulting with the speakers of the two houses of parliament, the heads of parliamentary groups and the presidents who preceded him.
