"Should one or more political forces, which have firmly adhered to my agenda, show the intention to candidate me as prime minister, I would consider it," Monti told a press conference in Rome.
The "agenda" that would at disposal of anyone will gather the recommendations that follow up with the austerity policies carried out by his 13-month emergency cabinet.
