Sweden's moderate party leader Ulf Christerson announced - on Friday - that he was able to agree on the formation of a minority government with the support of the far-right.

The Moderates will join forces with the Christian Liberals and Democrats to form a government.

Christerson said - at a press conference - that it will be a coalition government of 3 parties: moderates, Christian Democrats and liberals.

Sweden's right-wing bloc consists of moderates, liberals, Christian Democrats, and the anti-immigration "Sweden Democrats" party.

Christerson confirmed that the largest party in the right-wing bloc, the Sweden Democrats, would not be part of the government, but added that he would cooperate closely with him.

The four right-wing parties are expected to vote next Monday to form a new government.

The right-wing bloc made progress in last September's elections after winning a narrow majority over the left-wing bloc, led by the ruling Social Democrats, by obtaining 176 seats in the 349-member parliament.
