The pro-EU Democrats 66 surged in the Netherlands, matching the euroskeptic Party for Freedom in snap elections.
D66 leader Rob Jetten could become the first gay prime minister in the Netherlands.
Though the Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, lost seats, it remains influential.
Coalition talks are expected to be long and complex.
