FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (October 25 - November 1)
Doctors Strike for the First Time in Czech History
This was the title used by Czech daily Mlada Fronta DNES announcing
the November 1 strike. Strikers are protesting against the current
health care system and doctors' wages. Five thousand to eight thousand
supporters demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Health in Prague at
the invitation of the Physician's Union Club (LOK). Doctors are
demanding wages equal to those of college graduates in state
administration and the police and justice departments. The protest was
supported by most state health care institutions. Many doctors supported
the strike symbolically by wearing arm bands and ribbons, and making
information accessible to the public in their offices. Some even gave up
their pay for the day.
Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus spoke for the government, vehemently
disagreeing with the strike and the demands of the doctors.
Prsidential spokesman Ladislav Spacek said President Vaclav Havel
understands the unrest amongst physicians, but believes the strike is
not the proper solution for the health care system.
Following the demonstration, the LOK decided the strike would
continue administratively. Health care centers and hospitals will resume
normal operation November 2, but striking doctors will perform abortions
only in the event of health complications, and will send documents
verifying deaths and inability to work to the Ministry of Health.
Dr. David Rath, the LOK chairman who initiated the strike, appeared
against five opponents on Czech television program Arena to defend the
strike. Rath obviously convinced viewers that the strike was necessary.
When asked to call in answers to the question "Has Dr. Rath convinced
you that government health care policy endangers health care to such an
extent that a strike is necessary?," 3,843 viewers said no, while 8,675
viewers replied yes.

Health Minister Strasky wants Patients to Pay More
Minister of Health Jan Strasky presented doctors with a new
short-term program at a special meeting of the Czech Physicians Chamber
October 30.
Strasky said the program should go into effect as soon as possible,
at latest by the end of May. The program should focus on eliminating
health insurance companies' inability to pay, and finalizing the
privatization of heath care equipment. A new price list for health care
services should be prepared, and the new List of Medicines should be
completed to prevent doctors from prescribing unneccesary medications.
The value of the points in the system that sets health care wages
is to go up in January. Beginning next year, the Ministry of Health
expects patients to contribute more to the financing of their health
care. For example, patients will pay fees for hospital stays and trips
to the dentist.
The chamber board, which had been briefed beforehand, supported the
proposal. Representatives of unions, hospitals and insurance companies
reacted positively. Dr. David Rath of the Physician's Union Club
(LOK) protested. Although he later signed it, the acceptance of the
short-term program did not stop the strike.

Czechs Celebrate National Holiday
The Czech Republic celebrated on October 28 the 77th anniversary of
the foundation of the former Czechoslovakia.
President Vaclav Havel, accompanied by Prague Mayor Jan Koukal,
laid a bouquet at the statue of St. Wenceslas on Wenceslas Square. The
statue was also honored with bouquets by representatives of the Civic
Democratic Alliance (ODA), the Christian Democratic Union - Czechoslovak
People's Party (KDU-CSL), and the Free Democrats (SD). Neither Prime
Minister Vaclav Klaus nor any representatives of the Civic Democratic
Party (ODS) attended the celebration.
To honor this national holiday, the opera Libuse was performed in
the National Theater. Later in the afternoon at Prague Castle, the
traditional celebratory military oath was taken.
And again this year Miroslav Sladek's Republicans made themselves
known - after Sladek's speech in the Old Town Square, he and and his
supporters relocated to Wenceslas Square, where they nearly got into
a fight with skinheads.

First New Czech Honors Bestowed
President Vaclav Havel awarded the highest state decorations at
Prague Castle on the 77th anniversary of Czechoslovakia's founding on
October 28. The new distinctions - the Order of White Lion, the Order of
Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, and medals For Merit and For Heroism - were
awarded for first time to 54 individuals, mainly participants in
domestic and foreign resistance, dissidents and artists.
Twenty-three people received the award posthumously - for example,
founders of Osvobozene Theater Jiri Voskovec and Jan Werich, writers
Karel Capek, Karel Polacek and folk singer Karel Kryl. Among the 14
decorated artists were also film director Milos Forman, writer Milan
Kundera, singer Marta Kubisova and co-founder of Semafor Theater Jiri
Suchy. Vera Caslavska, the most successful Czech female athlete in
history, took the Medal For Merit. Twelve politicians were honored,
including current Minister of Culture Pavel Tigrid. Among the 10
soldiers honored were two participants of the UNPROFOR mission killed
during the Croatian offensive in Krajina.
The first recipients of the distinctions also include 10
foreigners, mostly German, who were honored for the development of
Czech-German relations.

Ostrava's Town Hall Tower Didn't Disappear
The all-day festivities of the October 28 state holiday in Ostrava
should have culminated with the disappearance of part of the town hall
tower. However, Hungarian magician Richard Rafael didn't fulfil his
promise - the tower stayed in place.
"I will make the tower disappear for 40 seconds," declared Rafael.
This magnificant show, prepared by a team of 150 people, cost almost 2
million crowns. The advertising campaign attracted a large number of
spectators, many of whom came a long way for the show.
According to the program, the tower should have disappeared just
after 9 p.m. and Rafael said a helicopter would be able to fly through
the "free" space. But the public just saw the artist's assistants
covering the tower with black canvas.
Angry spectators, who futilely called for the magician, were sent
home by police forces there to control downtown traffic. Richard Rafael,
who disappeared immediately after the fiasco, strongly denied the
following day that a fraud had taken place. He claimed the public came
too close and damaged the sound equipment and lighting.

Reaction to Havel's Speech in the UN
President Vaclav Havel's speech on October 25 evoked a wave of
response on the Czech political scene. "Taiwan is a democratic and
prospering country. It is sad that it is not a member of the UN," Czech
daily Mlada Fronta DNES quoted October 26 from the Havel's statement for
journalists in New York. Minister of Foreign Affairs Josef Zieleniec
immediately called this statement into question, with its unilateral
support of Taiwan unexpressed by any other European head of state. China
openly objected to Taiwan Prime Minister Lein-Chan's June visit to
Prague.
Havel provided more controversy with his invitation for PLO chief
Yasser Arafat to visit Prague. Government coalitian politicians in
particular did not welcome the invitation. Ministry of Foreign Affairs'
spokesman Vit Kurfurst said Arafat has been invited for a year and that
the president only repeated his invitation at the UN summit in New York.
Arafat, winner of a Nobel Peace Prize, has already visited the Czech
Republic on Havel's invitation, in April 1990.

Silence of the Romanies under the Government's Windows
Representatives of 28 Romany civic and political groups from the
entire republic gathered in front of the government building on October
25 to demonstrate against racial intolerance and violence towards the
Romany minority.
A few dozen people stood for about an hour in silent protest facing
the office where a meeting of the government had been taking place. The
Romanies held candles and banners with the names of victims of racial
attacks. After the protest they handed Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus'
office and the press a communique warning about the constant physical
threat to Romany citizens.
The premier didn't meet the protesters because he hadn't been aware
of the demonstration. "If I had known they were presidents of Romany
associations from the whole republic, I certainly would have met them...
It was a coordination mistake," Klaus said at a press conference
November 1.
The government is going to meet to discuss acting agaist rising
extremism. Klara Schirova/Alice Ticha
Vaclav Klaus Appointed to a Professorship
On October 31 in the Carolinum (the ancient assembly hall of
Prague's Charles University), Minister of Education Ivan Pilip presented
decrees to 52 educators, granting each the academic title of professor.
Among them was Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus, who is now a professor in
the field of finance, and actor Radovan Lukavsky.
The media noted the average age of the 48 men and four women was
55. Four years ago, the average age of those appointed was 63.
After the presentation of decrees, Klaus told the press he had
always hoped to gain the professorship.

FROM SLOVAKIA
EU and USA Displeased with Situation in Slovakia
Slovak Premier Vladimir Meciar received a demarche from four
European Union diplomats October 25. The EU expressed discontent with
the current tension among Slovak official institutions, and adds that
Slovakia is going to have to work harder to meet the criteria for being
accepted into the EU.
American Ambassador to Slovakia Theodore Russell submitted
a similar demarche to the Slovak government October 27. The USA
standpoint holds that progress in the transformation to democracy and
a free market is the basis for the US government support and the key to
Slovakia's entry to NATO.
Premier Meciar replied that "unlike the interest in partnership
negotiations proclaimed many times by the USA... an inability to hold an
equal dialogue at the highest level with all representatives of the
Slovakia persists."
Chairman Emeritus of the Slovak National Party (SNS) M. Andel
called the demarche the work of the opposition and the president, who
continue to shame the young Slovak Republic abroad. Andel is convinced
Slovakia is developing best in comparison to other post-communist
countries. The SNS said the West's evaluation of the Slovakia is untrue,
one-sided and biased.
President Michal Kovac, however, warned the government coalition
that the Slovakia can possibly expect isolation, should the politics
that called forth the demarches continue.

Slovak Government Approved Bill on Official Language
The Slovak Government approved the proposed law on official language
October 24, and intends to submit it to Parliament next month. The
bill's provisions should cover language use in official communications
and activities of state organs, in the educational system, mass media
and cultural activities. The bill is also concerned with the use of
Czech in Slovakia. For example, Czech movies will have to be dubbed or
provided with Slovak subtitles. Use of the Czech language and other
languages in instructional texts will be prohibited. Violating the law
carries a fine of up to 100,000 crowns for individuals and up to
1,000,000 crowns for legal entities.

Opinion Research Shows Loss in Voter Support for Coalition Parties
According to the latest voter preference polls taken by Focus, four
opposition parties would get into Parliament, while from the parties of
government coalition only the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS)
would have a place in Parliament.
HZDS is still the strongest party, with the backing of 29 per cent
of voters polled. A place in Parliament would also be waiting for:
Christian Democratic Movement (KDU) - 14.2 per cent
Democratic Union (DU) - 11.3 per cent
Green Party - 5 per cent.
The present government parties - the Slovak National Party (SNS)
and the Federation of Slovak Workers (SDS) - with 4.7 per cent and 4.1
per cent, respectively, wouldn't reach the 5 per cent minimum necessary
to enter Parliament.
Petr Pabian/Maria Tripoliti
Vladimir Meciar is the Most Trustworthy Politician
In a Focus public opinion poll taken in early October, a majority
of people consider Premier and HZDS Chairman Vladimir Meciar the most
trustworthy politician. Each respondents had the possibility to give
three names. Twenty-nine per cent of the people named Meciar and 19.2
per cent named President Michal Kovac.

Three-Quarters of the Population Think: Life Was Better Before 1989
According to an opinion poll taken by the Institute of Sociology at
the Slovak Academy of Science, 73.3 per cent of the people are convinced
that they had a better life before 1989. On the other hand 25.7 per cent
say that life was not better before 1989. At the same time, 73 per cent
of the people think that they will have a better life in five years.
When comparing today's situation with the situation in 1988, 90.9
per cent think that the gap between different social classes has gotten
wider and 52.8 per cent think that social justice is not as good as it
used to be. 55.9 per cent are convinced that the individual freedom has
increased. But 17 per cent still consider the situation to be the
opposite way. According to 54.3 per cent, the possibility of
self-realization has gotten bigger for most people, though 25.8 per cent
think the possiblity is smaller now than seven years ago.

BUSINESS/ECONOMICS
The Pilsen Bank
The activites of Pilsen Bank, which claims it gained from 10 per
cent to 50 per cent interest in the country's largest investment funds
through a massive buyout over the last two years, has evoked an uneasy
feeling among the largest Czech banks.
That activity enables Pilsen Bank to control one-fourth of the
Czech economy, according to some sources. An important Pilsen Bank stock
share holder - The Czech Insurance Company - organized a shareholders'
meeting for the last October 28, where it recalled the board of
directors responsible for the buyouts. The original board rejected the
recall at a second shareholders' meeting, organized by the
second-biggest shareholder in the bank - Motoinvest. Motoinvest also
claimed big banks want to prevent Pilsen Bank from buying up their
funds' stocks through the Czech Insurance Company. The courts will
likely decide which shareholder meeting is valid. The Czech National
Bank prohibited Pilsen Bank from continuing the buyouts, indicating the
extreme risk connected with such trades.
The Commerce Bank took a few unusual steps to keep control over its
investment fund, asking the Ministry of Finance to restrict the
tradeability of the fund's shares

Czech Bank Refuses to Help Domestic Financial Institutions
Czech Bank, which recently closed all its branches (see Carolina
176), did not accept the offer of Enterprise Bank and Hana Bank to give
them a majority of small savings deposits.
The vice-chairman of Czech Bank's board said this act would not
solve the bank's financial problems and only complicated its position in
negotiations with potential investors.
In spite of all this, both rejected financial institutions plan to
give Czech Bank another offer in the near future. The new offer should
include all Czech Bank clients except for banking institutions.

Milan Kundera Gives Czech Radio Interview
For the first time since the early 1980s, Czech writer Milan
Kundera granted an interview to the Czech press. To guarantee accuracy,
Kundera wrote the answers to all of his questions. The interview was
granted to Czech Radio; the daily Lidove noviny published it October 30.
The questions were oriented towards Kundera's relation with his
homeland. The Czech native, who has been living in France since 1975,
wrote : "The relationship to the counrty of your birth in which you no
longer live is always an issue... New obligations, new friendships are
born, the place of emigration becomes a new home, even a loved home...
The return is made difficult because of psychological reasons... Is it
possible to continue a conversation that was interrupted long ago?"
When asked if, after having published a novel in French, he will
ever write again in Czech, Kundera answered, "To start an absolutely new
life in another country at the age of 45 costs a person all, listen
well, all of his strength... During the past 20 years, I've read very
few Czech books... Even though I speak exclusively Czech with my wife,
I am surrounded by French books, I react to the French world, to French
sentences, just as you in the Czech Republic react to the Czech world
and Czech sentences. One day it had to surface in the language in which
I write. I was just as surprised as you were. Will I ever return to
Czech? Will I return at least partially to Bohemia? I don't know. I'll
allow myself to be surprised. Everything that has happened to me since
the time I left Bohemia was one great surprise that I haven't gotten out
of yet." Lucie Chytrackova/Andrea Snyder
Slovenska Kniha (Slovak Bookstore) Again in Prague
Slovak and Czech readers from the Czech Republic can after four
years visit Slovenska kniha again. The new literature center at Slezska
street 13 was opened on October 23 by Gejzir Company and Slovenske
pedagogicke nakladatelstvi (Slovak Educational Publishing).
Slovenska kniha prepares, in addition to the direct selling of
books, discussions with authors, sale exhibitions of Slovak artists or
interesting Slovak firms and projects.
Center Manager Viera Strouhalova pointed out for Carolina the most
important function of Slovenska kniha, the possibility of the
distribution of Slovak literature to libraries, cultural centers, Czech
bookstores or directly to individuals. Czech customers and Slovak
publishers will not have to deal with international transport problems
anymore. The center has by now made contacts with about 40 Slovak
publishers (including Archa, Elita, Fragment, Hevi, Mlade leta, Osveta,
Slovensky spisovatel).

The Residents in Prague
On November 1, the world premiere of the theater performance Freak
Show by the American band The Residents took place in the Prague's Archa
Theater. During this month, the performance will have 19 subsequent
shows. It will be presented in English with Czech subtitles. The Freak
Show is the biggest project in the short history of Archa.
The album, which had the same title, preceded the theater
performance, and was produced on interactive CD-ROM three years later.
The Residents, who have saved their anonymity for 20 years (they
had their usual eyeball masks at their press conference, too) will not
appear in the performance, especially not as the band. They chose other
musicians, who are good enough not to need a supplement. The basis of
The Freak Show Orchestra is built by members of the band Uz jsme doma,
and musicians from other Czech bands supplement them. American Wayne
Dobb has the role of host, while British and Czech actors have other
roles in the performance.
A unique exhibition of the history of The Residents will be shown
in the hall of the theatre after every performance. Computers with the
CD-ROM version of The Freak Show will be in the hall too.

Havel's Zebracka Opera After 20 Years
On November 1, the play Zebracka opera by President Vaclav Havel
opened in Prague's Theater Na Zabradli.
The date of the premiere is not random. The play had its world
premiere in the theater hall of the pub U Celikovskych in Horni
Pocernice November 1, 1975. It was realized by the amateur company of
Divadlo na tahu. Andrej Kroba directed the play.
He decided to introduce it again on the 20th anniversary of the
world premiere. The company of Divadlo na tahu changed itself a little,
allowing a professional actor to help them: the lead role of Macheath
belongs to Ladislav Smoljak, a director and actor from Jara Cimrman
Theater. Minister of the Interior Jan Ruml has the little (but
important) role of a drunken man.
Havel, director Milos Forman, actor Jan Triska and other
personalities from Czech culture took part in the premiere night
celebration Theater Na Zabradli. Alice Ticha/Jitka Motejzikova
Death of Director Zbynek Brynych
Director Zbynek Brynych died at the age of 68 October 24. His name
is joined with the film Zizkovska romance (1958), which showed the
everyday life of people of the Prague quarter Zizkov. His most
meaningful film is Transport z raje (1962), in which the atmosphere of
the Terezin (Theresienstadt) ghetto is featured. He received numerous
prizes for both these films at international festivals. Later he was
engaged in the production of espionage and detective films and he
cooperated in the German detective serial Derrick as well.
