EVENTS FOR THE WEEK MARCH 15-22
Klaus Pays Visit to Austrian Neighbors
On a working visit to Vienna last week, Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus
discussed bilateral economic relations and the Czech Republic's chances
for admission to the European Union. (Currently Austria ranks second
among direct investors in the Czech Republic.)
Klaus met individually for talks with Austrian President Tomas
Klestil, Vice Chancellor and Minister of Education Erhard Busek, and
Mayor of Vienna Michael Haupel.
At the Bank of Austria the Czech prime minister delivered a speech
titled "Czech Transformation and European Integration: Visions and
Strategies," in which he declared that the Czech economy aimed to lower
its inflation rate from the current 9.5 percent to between 3 and 4
percent. Since it is not realistic to expect inflation to decrease at
a rate of more than 2 percent annually, he said, the Czechs will not be
able to reach the 3 percent level before the end of the millenium.
To reach this goal, Klaus said Czech wages should remain lower than
in the West. With a decrease in inflation, the prime minister said he
expected unemployment to rise to 5 or 6 percent and the Czech crown to
become part of the European currency system.
Klaus concluded his two-day visit, which he described as friendly
and welcoming, with a meeting in the office of Austrian Chancellor Franz
Vranitzky. Tereza Hadravova/Andrea Snyder
Czech-German Relations to Improve?
On March 17, German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel presented
a speech on Czech-German relations to the Bundesrat. Previously the
Germans have said they will not consider compensation for Czech victims
of Nazism until the Czechs are willing to address the issue of the
violent expulsion of Sudeten Germans at the end of World War II. Here
the talks between the Czechs and Germans have reached a stalemate.
On several occasions Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus has said that
the postwar transfer of the Sudeten Germans is a closed case. Kinkel's
speech, however, was expected to bring about a major shift in the
countries' relations and to pledge compensation for Czech victims of
Nazism without any conditions. But while Kinkel expressed a willingness
to negotiate the German position, so far the terms remain the same.
For the most part, the members of the Czech government coalition
gave Kinkel's speech a positive evaluation. On March 18 Foreign Minister
Josef Zieleniec of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) told "Mlada fronta
Dnes" that an accommodating stance was clearly visible in the speech.
Parliament Chairman Milan Uhde, also of ODS, told the daily that he
viewed the German government's aim of dealing with the issue as
immensely encouraging and unusually positive.
Labor and Social Affairs Minister Jindrich Vodicka of ODS, however,
disagreed, saying he was disappointed by Kinkel's speech and not pleased
with the idea of conditioning compensation for what happened during the
war on events that took place after it.
Czech opposition parties gave the speech negative reviews. Leaders
of the Bohemian-Moravian Party of the Center said it was not the gesture
of good will they had been expecting, while Milos Zeman, leader of the
Social Democrats, described Kinkel's address as interference in the
Czechs' internal affairs. Martin Kupka/Andrea Snyder
German Defense Minister in Prague for Talks
After talks on Tuesday with his Czech counterpart Vilem Holan,
German Defense Minister Volker Ruhe declared his country's full support
for the Czech Republic's aim to join NATO security structures.
Ruhe described the process as irreversible and said he personally
had great sympathy for the Czechs'efforts, though he added that it was
up to countries, not individuals, to decide on the admission of Central
European countries to the North Atlantic alliance.
Holan admitted for the first time, during his talks with Ruhe that
it was possible nuclear weapons could be deployed on Czech territory as
a condition of full NATO membership. This confirmed statements made by
some diplomats from NATO headquarters in Brussels that the Czech
Republic, due to its strategic location, would have to assume the
presence of not only NATO troops but also nuclear weapons. Ruhe,
however, said any talk of placing atomic warheads on the soil of new
NATO members was at this point purely hypothetical.
Cooperation between the Czech and German armies is picking up
markedly, with 80 joint maneuvers expected in 1995, more than double the
number of last year. Likewise the number of Czech army officers going to
Germany for training is growing.
Commenting on the deep-rooted prejudice that exists between Germans
and Czechs, said Ruhe: "The past is not our future." He said the
successful cooperation between German and French troops was evidence
that prejudices may be overcome.
During his stay in Prague the German defense minister met also with
President Havel, Prime Minister Klaus and Foreign Minister Zieleniec.

Chief of ODA Secretariat Accused of Fraud
Josef Reichman, the head of the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA)
secretariat, was charged March 17 as an accessory to fraud and the
altering of economic data and business records.
Justice officials have not arrested Reichman and are prosecuting him
at large. According to TV Nova, Reichman suffered a nervous breakdown
the day before the charges were announced and is currently residing in a
Prague psychiatric clinic.
Reichman's signature figures on the bill of exchange vouching for
ODA's 52 million Kc debt with the Kreditni a prumyslova banka (Credit
and Industrial Bank). Several months ago he was interrogated as
a witness in the KPB affair, and already prior to the announcement of
his possible arrest he had said he was receiving anonymous threats
directed at both himself and his children.
Also Reichman arranged the transfer of ODA's loans for its 1992
election campaign from the Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka (Czechoslovak
Trade Bank) and the Zivnobanka (Bank of Business) to KPB, which offered
ODA more advantageous terms, including an extended term of payment.
A company called Marklap served as the guarantor for ODA's debts
with KPB, so when ODA failed to pay off its loans the bank took over the
company - which in the meantime had increased its basic assets from
100,000 Kc to 52 million.
According to party officials, ODA then received a statement showing
their account with a zero balance so they considered the debt paid off.
In fact, however, the debt still exists because the bill of exchange
Reichman issued is payable in May 1996.
Michal Macek, an ODA lawyer who helped Reichman set up the
transaction, was prosecuted in custody for alleged fraud and altering
business records and was released from custody on Monday. Also being
prosecuted in custody is Adolf Klapka, co-owner of Marklap.
One other actor in the affair is Miroslav Tera, a deputy finance
minister from ODA, who provided the expert evaluation in support of
Marklap's business plan, on the basis of which the Plzen Registration
Court raised the company's basic assets.
Some newspapers here, citing anonymous sources, have interpreted the
charges against Reichman as a possible push for ODA to pull out of the
government coalition. It has been reported that if that were to happen,
the Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL) is
prepared to leave the coalition along with ODA.
Spokespersons for both parties have dismissed these reports as not
based in truth, though they do say the two parties' officials met.
ODA Chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Kalvoda has suggested
there are hidden motives behind the police investigation of his party's
debt. The results of the inquiry so far, he said, "confirm that this is
not a criminal matter." Stepanka Kucerova/Martina Vojtechovska
Death of Weapons Factory Chief an Accident, Reconstruction Shows
After a reconstruction of the death of Uhersky Brod weapons factory
director Miroslav Duda, it has been confirmed that Duda's fall from his
hotel window in Nuremberg March 12 was an accident, Czech police said.
According to Czech police spokesman Ales Svoboda, the case was so
clear to the German police that they did not even ask the Czechs for
assistance.
A reconstruction of the incident, said a spokesman for the criminal
police in Nuremberg, ruled out the possibility of either suicide or the
involvement of another person. Meanwhile, however, the investigation
continues and German police will not say when it will be concluded.
While doctors have already completed their autopsy of Duda, they are
still examining hair samples and other findings.
According to "Rude pravo," the management at Uhersky Brod are not
satisfied with the German police's explanation and plan to seek the
results of the investigation through official channels.

New Law Tough on Starting Health Insurance Agents
Amendments to the laws on health insurance and health insurance
agents adopted by Czech Parliament March 17 require new agencies to come
up with 50 million Kc before they can open and established agencies to
have a minimum of 50,000 clients within a year.
The other changes concern insurance holders, who starting in May
will be able to change insurance companies only once a year, and the
rules for above-standard treatment. Insurance companies will no longer
be able to pay for any care beyond the standard set by the Health Code,
which in practice means insurance will no longer cover artificial limbs
and homeopathic treatments, among others.
Parliament approved the final version of the amendments by only
a slim majority. They rejected the original proposal, which required
each insurance company to provide coverage to at least 400,000 clients
within the next two years.
Health Minister Ludek Rubas said he was satisfied with the changes,
but some members of Parliament did not hide their disappointment.
Miroslav Cerbak of ODA told "Mlada fronta Dnes": "We're fixing the roof
of a house and we're not even sure we want to live in it yet."
On Tuesday Jiri Schlanger, president of the Trade Union Association
for Health Care and Social Services, spoke out against the amendments.
He said the limitation on changing insurance companies to just once
a year was not in the patients' best interests, because unless their
insurance carrier has a contract with their doctor, patients have to
change either their agent or their doctor, even if they are completely
satisfied with both. Ludek S. Stanek/Katerina Rus
First Conviction for Libel of President Havel
Zdenek Svarovsky was found guilty of libeling the head of state by
the District Court in Kromeriz on March 16 under Section 103 of the
Criminal Code. The court put him on probation for one year with
a four-month suspended sentence.
Svarovsky, 62 and retired, is now the 10th person who has been
charged with libel of the president under Section 103, which carries a
maximum penalty of two years in prison. All the previous cases were
stopped either by the president himself or by Parliament.
According to the court, Svarovsky libeled the president in articles
published in the newspapers "Denni hlasatel" and "Nedelni hlasatel,"
distributed in the United States, Canada and the Czech Republic. Among
other things, Svarovsky described Havel as a traitor and a false
prophet, though he also published documents which he claimed proved that
Havel was a member of the Communist Party until 1967 and that he worked
for the StB secret police under the code name "Profesor."
Havel's spokesman, Ladislav Spacek, said the president had no
comment on the verdict. Jana Maruskova/K. Rus
Foreign Minister Zieleniec Meets with Social Science Students
Joining the process of European integration is the main goal of
Czech foreign policy, Foreign Minister Josef Zieleniec said March 16 at
a meeting with students of Charles University's Faculty of Social
Sciences, organized by a group called the Young Conservatives.
Zieleniec told students the aim of entering West European structures
was not connected with either economic prosperity or state security but
with the principle of European integration itself - the idea that
conflicts can be avoided through cooperation.
The integration process, he said, represents an attempt to escape
the fatal trap of European history. He added that national defense as
a key element of Czech statehood is only now starting to develop.
In his speech Zieleniec summed up the principles of Czech foreign
policy, stressing that the Czech Republic is bound to the West by the
traditions of Western Christianity. This same value system, he said,
projects into Czech foreign policy.
Asked whether the Sudeten German issue would have any influence on
the Czech Republic's chancees of entering the EU, the foreign minister
said he believed the dominant role of the past in Czech-German relations
was not beneficial for either side and that it should be put to an end.
Zieleniec declined to answer a question from "Rude pravo" on whether or
not a recent proposal of his would permit Sudeten Germans to regain
Czech citizenship.
Other questions focused on the possibility of a new bipolar Europe,
which Zieleniec said would enhance Central European security, the
effectiveness of European bureaucracy, and the advantages of entering
the EU for the Czechs. Concerning the last point, the foreign minister
said that for the Czech Republic to distance itself from the EU in order
not to give up any part of its sovereignty would eventually result in
the country's losing even more. Jirka Schneider/J. Schneider

Slovakia and Hungary Sign Pact on Friendship and Cooperation
After reaching agreement on the remaining points of controversy last
Thursday, the Slovak and Hungarian prime ministers attached their
signatures to a bilateral pact on friendship, neighborly relations and
mutual cooperation on Sunday in Paris.
Vladimir Meciar of Slovakia and Gyula Horn of Hungary will now
submit the document to their countries' parliaments for ratification.
The first reservations appeared even before the text was made
public, especially concerning the Hungarian minority in Slovakia, the
most sensitive issue between the two states.
Both Hungarians - from the Christian Democratic People's Party and
the Independent Small Landowners' Party - and Slovaks - from the Slovak
National Party - have protested the solution proposed in the pact. While
Hungarian critics have compared the pact to the 1920 Trianon treaty,
which took away roughly two-thirds of Hungary's territory, Jan Slota of
the Slovak National Party claims it violates Slovakia's borders.
Following the publication of the text, other parties too voiced
negative views of the pact's treatment of controversial issues. In
particular, they criticized it for vague wording and for ignoring some
important problems. Peter Weiss, head of Slovakia's Party of the
Democratic Left, said the agreement had been signed under heavy pressure
from the international community.

International Warrant Issued for Arrest of Slovak President's Son
German justice officials have issued a warrant for the arrest of
Michal Kovac, son of Slovak President Michal Kovac. Dieter Emrich, head
of the Munich prosecutor's office, confirmed the Reuters report for the
Czech daily "Mlada fronta Dnes."
The 31-year-old Kovac is charged along with two other individuals
with embezzling money paid by a Slovak company as a deposit on goods
that were never delivered. According to Emrich, one person has already
been convicted in the case. He said the warrant for Kovac's arrest had
been issued last year but the German officials did not go public with it
until after the news appeared in the Slovak press.
President Kovac described the affair as "a slanderous campaign"
intended to discredit him. According to "Mlada fronta Dnes," the Slovak
daily "Slovenska republika," which is close to Slovak Prime Minister
Vladimir Meciar, an outspoken opponent of the president, wrote only that
"the son of a prominent Slovak" had been implicated in a fraud that had
lost $2.3 million US for the joint-stock company Technopol.
On Monday the Slovak Prosecutor General began a preliminary
investigation of the matter. Jindrich Jirasek/Katerina Rus
BUSINESS/ECONOMICS
European Banking Forum Taking Place in Prague
The European Bank and Finance Forum (EBBF) began Monday in Prague
with a speech by Prime Minister Klaus, who said the main tasks in the
post-transformation Czech Republic were to refrain from state
intervention in the economy and to combine economic growth with reduced
inflation. More than 200 representatives of prominent banks from Europe,
the United States, South Korea, Kuwait and Israel took part in the
forum. Karolina Polakova/Katerina Rus

CULTURE
1994 Czech Music Awards
The 1994 Czech "Gramy" awards took place Saturday night in Prague's
Music Theater in Karlin. Similar to the prestigious American Grammies,
the Czech version (spelled with one "m") even looks the same except that
the phonograph on the award here is ceramic instead of gold.
The rock band Lucie took home the most awards, winning album of the
year for "Cerny kocky mokry zaby" ("Black Cats Wet Frogs"), as well as
best group and best song for contributing the title track for the Czech
motion picture "Amerika."
Best male vocalist went to Dan Barta, best female vocalist to Lucie
Bila for the third time in a row. Buty, the band that recorded the
prizewinning soundtrack for Jan Sverak's 1994 film "Jizda" ("The Ride"),
was named discovery of the year.
Film director Filip Renc received the award for best video for Lucie
Bila's "Zahrada rajskych poteseni" ("Garden of Heavenly Delights"),
while Ivan Kral was named best producer, and artist Veronika Broumova
won best album cover for her design of Sum svistu's "Rytmy z raje"
("Rhythms from Paradise").
Following pop-idol-turned-balladeer Karel Gott, the rock band
Olympic and folk singer Vladimir Misik, this year Karel Kryl was
inducted posthumously into the Hall of Fame. Best musical went to the
Czech version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and best foreign act went to
old-time British rockers Pink Floyd.

Theater on the Balustrade Wins Alfred Radok Foundation Award
Under the artistic direction of Petr Lebl, Divadlo Na zabradli
(Theater on the Balustrade) won the Alfred Radok prize for 1994's best
theatrical production of Chekhov's "The Seagull." Lebl's interpretation
of this classic combines elements of originality with Chekhov's
traditional youthful enthusiasm for progressive theater.
William Klimacek of Bratislava and David Drabek of Tyniste nad
Orlici shared the prize for best original work in Czech or Slovak for
their plays "Maria Sabina" and "Jana z parku" ("Jana from the Park").
The award named after the famous director Alfred Radok, presented
this year for the third time and consisting of a wreath of laurels, went
to director Hana Buresova for her "Don Juan and Faust" at the Labyrint
Theater and to Miroslav Krobot for "Rok na vsi" ("A Year in the
Village") at Prague's National Theater.
In a poll of 41 Czech theater critics, Barbora Hrzanova was named
actress of the year for her performance in "The Seagull," while best
actor went to David Prachar for his interpretation of Hamlet in the
Divadlo Komedie. Jakub Knezu/Eftychia Damianidou
Voskovec and Werich's "Fist in the Eye" Returns to the Stage
After nearly 50 years, "Pest na oko" ("Fist in the Eye"), a musical
from the legendary Osvobozene divadlo ("Liberated Theater") of Jiri
Voskovec, Jan Werich and Jaroslav Jezek, returns to Prague in a March
24 premiere at the Music Theater in Karlin.
"Fist in the Eye" originally debuted on April 8, 1938, but the
Nazi occupation of the Czech lands and the ensuing emigration of the
three artists prevented any further performances. After the war Voskovec
and Werich returned to Prague (without Jezek, who died in 1941) to
revive the play with a revised text in April 1947, the only piece of
their former repertoire they maintained. But they were not allowed to
taste the fruits of their renewed success as Voskovec again fled the
country following the Communist takeover in February 1948.
Karlin's adaptation of "Fist in the Eye" combines the best of both
versions, though it focuses on today's clash of dogma and idealism. Jan
Pista has adapted Jezek's music specifically for the Music Theater, and
Rostislav Kuba has taken on the role of director.
Starring in the musical are Stanislav Fiser, who combines the roles
of Voskovec and Werich into one, and Ludmila Molinova. The costumes come
from the workshop of Daniela Flejsarova and Pavel Roucek created the
sets. Rudolf Cernik/Eftychia Damianidou
Czech Film and TV Academy to Be Born
The Czech Film and Television Academy will come into being next
month with the aim of representing Czech cinematography abroad. It will
also vote on nominations for the most prestigious film awards: the
American Oscars, the European Felixes and the Czech Lions.
To raise money the Academy intends to publish catalogs as well as
materials for the foreign media and a magazine for film producers.
Overseeing the creation of the Academy are Peter Vachler, with his
Vachler Art Company, and the Ministry of Culture.
Forming the Czech Film and Television Academy will be some 100
members, to be nominated and approved by the 16 founding members. Among
these 16 are celebrities such as film director Milos Forman, costume
designer Theodor Pistek, cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek, screenwriter
Zdenek Sverak and Czech TV Director Ivo Mathe.

The Best Selling Czech Books
In recent weeks "Enemies" by Isaac Baashevis Singer has been one of
the best selling books in Prague, along with "The Meaning of History" by
Nikolaj Alexandrovic Berdajov.
Surprisingly, the Christmas bestseller "Katedrala" by Zdenek Mahler
is no longer in demand. Books by novelist Vladimir Paral have been hard
to come by for a while as have works by Halina Pawlowska.

Most Czechs Rise By Seven A.M.
A full 40 percent of Czechs get up every morning at 6 a.m.,
according to a poll conducted by the AISA. Two-thirds of respondents
said they rose before 7 on weekdays, and while nine out of 10 Czechs
said they were up by 8 during the work week, one out of five said they
stayed in bed past 9 a.m. on weekends.

Slavia Leads Football League Five Points over Sparta
Viktoria Zizkov's spring season crisis is still not over. Viktoria
lost again this week, 2:0 to second-place Sparta Praha. Slavia Praha
maintains its lead of five points over Sparta in the first-place race.
Slovan Liberec advanced to no. 3, defeating Hradec Kralove, the first
loss this spring for Hradec. And after a match between the two cellar
dwellers, Drnovice's players were happier than their opponents in
Benesov. Dusan Radolsky became the latest coach to be sacked, as
Vitezslav Kolda replaced him in Olomouc after their loss to Jablonec.

Newcomers from Vsetin First to Reach Finals in Hockey Extra-league

became the first squad to reach this year's finals, after defeating
Ceske Budejovice in three games straight.
After four matches in the other half of the draw, Vsetin's opponent
has yet to be determined. Both Kladno and Zlin have lost once in their
own rink, so we will have to wait until the fifth match, in Kladno, to
see moves on to play for the championship.
Semifinal results:
Vsetin - Ceske Budejovice 3:1, 3:2, 4:2 (Vsetin to finals).
Kladno - Zlin 3:7, 3:2, 3:8, 4:3 (one match left).
Matches to determine final standings from ninth to 12th place:
Vitkovice - Sparta Praha 1:3, Pardubice - Jihlava 3:1, Sparta Praha

Dukla Wins Last Champions League Match with Group Winner
Dukla Praha has proved itself as one of the best handball teams in
Europe. After losing its first matches, Dukla went on to defeat first
German champions Kiel and then, in their last match, Bidasoa,
a Champions League finalist. In spite of its 26:25 victory, however,
Dukla finished last in the semifinal round.
Dukla is the best handball team in the Czech Republic, it leads the
league standings and nine of its players have been nominated for the
world championships. Mirek Langer/M. Langer
Russian Legend Helps with Historic Sport Pair Title
Radka Kovarikova and Rene Novotny picked up the Czech Republic's
first world champions title in pair sport skating in Birmingham,
England. On March 13 they were welcomed home by Czech Olympic Committee
President Vera Caslavska, along with representatives of the figure
skating union and, of course, the media.
"After our silver in the European championships we wanted to repeat
our free-style routine without any mistakes. But this time we won more
by battling down to the last second," they said. Irina Rodnina, the
pair's Russian coach and a legend herself in this category, appreciated
their performance.
Kovarikova and Novotny are now leaving the professional ranks,
though. "We're still attracted to competition," they said, "we're
looking forward to working out some completely different routines." The
pair has won silver medals from both the world and the European
championships, but they have yet to win a medal in the Olympics. "We
don't want to leave for good. The 1988 Olympics are not far off."

WEATHER
The birds are singing, the street vendors are offering snowdrop
bouquets - astronomically spring is here but outdoors, cold weather
still prevails. As the mercury has been steadily refusing to rise over
the 10-degree mark, Prague pedestrians have been persecuted by chilly
winds. Many people left their homes on the first day of spring wearing
overcoats and winter shoes, while snow drifted down on them from the
cloudy skies. Mirek Langer/M. Langer
