Govt. formation: Who will take the first step?

All contacts between President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati regarding the government formation have been halted, al-Joumhouria newspaper said.

The daily said Monday, based on high-level sources, that even mediations have stopped between Baabda and the Grand Serail, and that all the attention now is on the upcoming Presidential election.

"The President is waiting for the PM-designate to initiate, and

vice versa," the sources said, adding that countries, in the region and internationally, are not showing any real concern regarding the government formation, but are rather prioritizing the Presidential election.
