00:00Billionaire Andrej Babiš promised loyalty to the European Union and NATO on Sunday after

00:06his ANO party won a decisive victory in Czechia's parliamentary elections.

00:11Speaking to reporters in Prague, the former prime minister said his movement is clearly

00:15pro-European and pro-NATO.

00:17And we were very reliable partners.

00:21And we are patriots for Europe and we want to win next elections because Europe is suffering.

00:29Europe is not competent anymore, not in competition, so high energies and so on, so I don't agree

00:39with the statement that we have been in.

00:44I have been prime minister and we have been in government before and we have excellent

00:51results.

00:52Babiš said he hoped President Trump and NATO leaders would end the war in Ukraine.

00:57He also vowed to review the Czech-led initiative to supply ammunition to Kyiv, saying the programme

01:03must be transparent and that nobody should profit from war.

01:07President Petra Pavel, who will appoint the next prime minister, said maintaining a strong

01:12pro-EU and pro-NATO stance would be crucial when forming a new government.

01:17Babiš's ANO party won about 35 percent of the vote on Saturday, ahead of Prime Minister

01:23Petra Fiala's pro-Western coalition.
