ROME (AFP) - Italy's election victor Romano Prodi outlined his plans for government, dismissing the threat of a recount demanded by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and saying he would take power in May.

"I have absolutely no fear of a reversal of the situation," the centre-left leader told his first major news conference since his hair's breadth election win was announced Tuesday.

............................

"Berlusconi has been trying to spread concern and in spite of his defeat he continues to cast doubt on the legality of our victory. I can assure you there is no doubt about our victory," Prodi said in his northern hometown of Bologna.

"We won and it is useless for Berlusconi to try to delay (recognition of our victory). Berlusconi must go home," he added.
