C A R O L I N A No 191, Friday, February 23, 1996.
FROM THE EVENTS OF THE LAST WEEK (February 14-21)
Klaus Kinkel and the Potsdam Treaty Again
German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel was reported by Reuters
February 19 as saying that the Potsdam Treaty of 1945 was not a legal
basis on which to expel Germans from Eastern Europe. "In accord with
German legal science, all preceeding German governments and the current
government have judged the expulsion of the Germans after the war as an
illegal act," Kinkel said.
Kinkel's statements are from an analysis, published by the German
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming the conclusions reached at the
Potsdam Conference are not binding for Germany, because the country
never recognized their legal validity. The analysis also says that,
according to the basic principles of international law, no country is
bound by an agreement in which they did not participate.
However, Czech legal experts say Germany unconditionally
surrendered May 8, 1945 its highest authority to the victorious powers,
and thus was represented at the closing of the agreement. They say that
the validity of the Potsdam Treaty is also confirmed in the United
Nations Charter.
The Potsdam Conference took place from July 17 to August 2, 1945 in
the town of Potsdam, near Berlin. Three powers were represented: the
USSR, the USA and the UK. The decision to expel German residents orderly
and humanely from Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary was made there, and
France also agreed to the final Potsdam Declaration.
In the past few days, the USA, Russia and Great Britain confirmed
the legal validity of the Potsdam Treaty. The US Embassy in Prague
released a statement saying, "the conclusions of the Potsdam Conference
are historical fact, and the United States is confident that no country
wishes to call them into question." Petr Pabian/Andrea Snyder
Polish and Czech Presidents to Meet in March
Because of Czech President Vaclav Havel's state of health, the date
of his meeting with Polish President Aleksandr Kwasniewski, scheduled
for February 22 in Nachod, has been changed.
Presidential spokesman Ladislav Spacek said Havel is still
recuperating at home after the February 13 removal of a benign polyp
from his mouth. Viktorie Reschova/Andrea Snyder
More than 40 Czech Political Parties and Movements
Of the 55 political parties registered at the Czech Ministry of the
Interior by January 31, seven are now inactive and five have dissolved,
according to the February 17 edition of Czech daily Denni Telegraf. The
Supreme Court, which dissolves or deactivates parties at the
government's suggestion, has the right to stop party activity, should
the party fail to make its stuate comply with the law. The court said
that dissolved parties had first been given a deadline to harmonize the
statutes that had caused the parties' activities to be stopped. The
proposal to remove a party from the ministry's list is submitted by
either the proper party organ or a liquidator.
The list of dissolved parties includes the Political Party of Women
and Mothers of Czechoslovakia and the Permanent Opposition for
Democracy, while the Christian and Democratic Party of Romanies are
listed as inactive. On the active list, however, some total unknowns
remain, such as the Party of Natural Law.

Changes in Television Broadcasting Precede Elections
From May 15 to 29, during the official election campaign, the
public Czech Television and the private TV Nova will make changes in
their broadcasting.
Although Czech Television will no longer broadcast "Debata," where
guests polemicize over issues, it will retain "Arena," during which one
guest combats the opinions of a quintet of opponents, though the
participants will no longer be politicians.
Each political party will have the opportunity to present
themselves in short spots. Something new for Czech TV is the weekly show
"Karantena," where 12 heads of various political parties will present
themselves in the order of their pre-election standing. Prime Minister
Vaclav Klaus from the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) will be last.
TV Nova is not planning on any great changes. The discussion show
"7 or Seven Days" ("7 cili Sedm dni") will not be canceled, and we may
even see the faces of political candidates there in the pre-election
period. However, "Five Minutes with the Prime Minister" ("Pet minut
s Premierem"), where Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus attempts to answer
viewers' questions will be canceled.
Both television stations agreed to raise their awareness of
objectivity in pre-election news coverage.

Czech Students Abroad Feel Damaged by Current Government Social Policy
The Carolina staff recently received a request from Czech students
studying at the University of Pennsylvania in the USA to publish their
declaration. In it they express their disagreement with the new system
of public aid, which they say discriminates against those studying
abroad and their families.
"After graduating from high school we too decided to test our luck
and came to study at the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia...This is not a short-term stay to perfect our English, it
is a four-year daily study at one of America's most prestigious
universities. Expenses for these four years come to approximately 4
million crowns, which easily exceeds our parents' whole life's incomes.
We come from average Czech families, and therefore we received
scholarships from the university. But this scholarship does not include
living costs, health insurance and travel costs...It is necessary to
emphasize that, unlike other European countries, our country does not
contribute in any way to our studies. Till December, the state at least
paid our health insurance and social security as somewhat regular
university students...
"According to the newest laws, students studying abroad are not
considered to be students by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
According to the Ministry of Education, however, we are 'studying at
a school on a level of university study corresponding to that in the
Czech Republic' (quote from an official ministry document)." They
consider the situation, in which they are students for one ministry and
not for another, unbearable.
"It is a tragedy that a country like the United States, where we do
not even have long-term residency, invests more in our education than
our homeland, to which we intend to return...", is written at the end of
the declaration, signed by Robert Zeithammer and Michael Zeltkevic. The
fact the Czech students abroad do not have the status of dependent
children, and therefore their families stop receiving typical family aid
payments and not even public transit discounts, is also discussed in the
Czech media. For example, the daily Lidove noviny wrote February 19
about the plan of Labor and Social Affairs Minister Jindrich Vodicka to
propose further welfare reforms to the government in spring, which
should address the law's shortcomings.
Carolina will return to this topic with a special story.

Almost One-Third of Czech Residents Satisfied with Work and Salary
According to the Institute for Public Opinion Research, 31 per cent
of Czech citizens are satisfied with their job and their financial
compensation, while 51 per cent are satisfied with their job. Eight per
cent of citizens do not like their job but are satisfied by their
salary, while the same percentage of people complain about both. Two per
cent of respondents gave other replies.
The most satisfied are managers (93 per cent), college graduates
and businessmen (92 per cent) and white-collar workers (91 per cent),
while the least satisfied are those with only grade-school educations
(36 per cent) and laborers (25 per cent).

Citizens' Petitions to Parliament
According to the February 19 edition of the daily Svobodne Slovo,
the parliamentary Petition Committee received 400 petitions with 48,250
signatures in the past six months against the registration of the
"abortion pill" RU-486. Two other petitions requested a constitutional
amendment for a public referendum on the entry of the Czech Republic to
NATO and the EU. These petitions were signed by 36,529 citizens.
A petition with 15,873 signatures was mailed to promote the return
of tank #23 from the depository of the Army Museum to its original
location - in front of the Palace of Justice on Prague's Kinsky Square
(the tank, originally symbolizing the liberation of Prague by the Red
Army in May 1945, was painted pink by local artist David Cerny after
November 1989 and remained a topic of political debate until its removal
some years later).
Seven petitions protested against public expressions of racism and
anti-Semitism in the Czech Republic. The petition mailed by the Sumava
Citizens' union was against gold mining in the Kasper Mountains. Other
petitions addressed to Parliament requested the criminal code be made
more strict and the return of capital punishment, some of them were
against the introduction of tuition, etc. One of the petitions dealt
with the sale of pornography and the status of homosexual couples.

Nuclear Fuel Transport across the Czech Republic without Problems
A train with 235 partly burned fuel cells destined for the
Hungarian Paks nuclear power plant crossed the Czech-German border
February 19. More than 100 policemen accompanied the transport train and
the whole route was strictly confidential. The train was not supposed to
spend more than 20 hours on Czech territory. A 30-minute blackout at
Rajhrad near Brno caused the only delay, which the train quickly made up
and crossed the Slovak border at Breclav the morning of February 20.
Czech environmental activists denounced the transport again February
20, but no action was taken. According to the activists, the Hungarian
nuclear plant does not comply with western safety standards.
Czech Railways was to earn about 1 million crowns for the
transport operation. Zbynek Vicar/Petra Rubesova
Youngest Parliamentary Club Chairman Gets Married
Social Democratic (CSSD) parliamentary club Chairman Stanislav
Gross was married February 16 in Prague. He met his wife Sarka
Bobysudova (both 26) in the Parliament cafeteria, where she works as
assistant manager.
CSSD Chairman Milos Zeman attended the ceremony as the best man.
Although Mrs. Gross is said to share her husband's political sympathies,
the wedding did not have a political character. The newly married couple
also agrees on the number of children they wish to have - a minimum of
two. Stanislav Gross, a student at Charles University's Law School, used
to work as a train engineer.

Interior Minister Jan Ruml Has a Son
New father and Interior Minister Jan Ruml took his wife Marie and
their first-born son Frantisek home from Prague's Podoli Maternity
Hospital February 19. Frantisek was born February 8, measuring 52 cm
tall (about 20 inches) and weighed 3.9 kg (about 8.8 lbs.). According to
the press, the happy father finds his son gorgeous, big and beautiful.
He also said the birth of his son adds a whole new dimension to his life
and a role he looks forward to.

FROM SLOVAKIA
Michal Kovac Jr. Not to Be Extradited to Germany
Michal Kovac Jr., son of the Slovak president, was released
February 20 by the Vienna High Court after neary six months in jail. The
Austrian court, headed by Senate Chairman Friedrich Novotny, decided
that Kovac will not be extraditedto Germany, as requested by the German
prosecutor's office. Among the main reasons are the fact that the Slovak
government did not demand the return of their citizen, and did not
protest his arrest, and that, according to the confession of Oskar
F., a former Slovak Information Service (SIS) agent, the secret service
took part in Kovac's kidnapping as well.
In spite of this, the newly released Kovac is planning a trip to
Munich. "After a short rest, which I will spend at home, I want to go
voluntarily to Munich to close the Technopol case, so that it can no
longer be abused on the Slovak political scene against the the head of
the Slovak state," Kovac told Czech daily Lidove noviny immediately
after the decision was announced.
Kovac Jr. will be able to use the president's bodyguards upon his
return to Slovakia. Katerina Zachovalova/Andrea Snyder
ECONOMY/BUSINESS
Kladno's Poldi to Bankruptcy Proceedings
The Fund of National Property (FNM) and the Ministry of Industry
and Trade ended negotiations about the consolidation of Kladno's Poldi
steel works February 15, and agreed on a proposal for bankruptcy
proceedings. The FNM has also lodged a criminal complaint against
Vladimir Stehlik, owner of Bohemia Art (which holds 54.8 per cent stake
in Poldi), for breaching the public bid rules and for tampering with the
bid process, said FNM Chairman Roman Ceska.
Major responsibility for the bad contract selling Poldi to Bohemia
Art falls to the former management of the FNM, which did not ensure
sufficient control of the whole action. Because the privatization was
negotiated also by the ministry, part of the blame falls to them, as
well. The FNM signed a third version of the purchase contract with
Vladimir Stehlik's Bohemia Art February 25, 1994, which allowed Stehlik
to gain a bigger share than he paid for.

Government Allows Rent Increases
The government cabinet agreed February 14 that rents may rise,
while Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus said the possible increase will be "at
the lower border of the possible," and is a reaction to the need for
rent deregulation and the social conditions in the country.
The government agreement set the maximum rent increase at 19 per
cent, though the exact increase will be decided by individual localities
according to local conditions. The new rents will be valid from July 1
till June 30, 1997. Higher rents will follow.

Parliament Approves Law against Money Laundering
Parliamentary deputies February 15 unanimously approved the
government's proposed law to attack money laundering - the legaliztion
of earnings from criminal activity. A minimum of 500,000 crowns was set
to mark off transactions which will subject to new regulations.
The law requires the identification of all participants in
transactions exceeding this amount. The transactions subject to
registration also include opening a bank account, currency exchanges,
rental of a safe deposit box or closing a deposit agreement. The law
applies not only for all financial institutions - banks, investment
companies and funds, savings and loans, but also for people running
videogame parlors, casinos or betting parlors. Financial institutions
will also be forced to inform the Ministry of Finance of all "unusual
transactions" within five days. For not fulfilling the requirements,
a fine of 2 million crowns may be imposed. If the offense is repeated,
the penalty may reach 10 million crowns. The law takes effect July 1.

Experts and Laymen Differ on Car of '96
In a survey of Czech automotive journalists, in search of the Car
of '96, the Audi A4 won. The result of the voting was announced by its
sponsor, The Union of Automobile Importers (SDA) February 18 in
Prague's Hilton Hotel. Together with the professional vote, the SDA also
organized a open survey, to which 230,000 readers of selected magazines
contributed. Here the victor was the Peugeot 406 STDT sedan, which
cannot use the slogan Car of the Year '96 in the Czech Republic for
advertising, according to the SDA. Jakub Konecny/Petra Sevcikova

CULTURE
Actor Milos Kopecky Departs
Popular theater, film and television actor Milos Kopecky died at
the age 73 February 16 in Prague. Although he was trained as a furrier,
at the age of 19 he was lured in by the theater. After World War II, he
went to work in Prague's Vetrnik ensemble, at first as a technician. He
went on to play a pantheon of roles on the stages of the Semafor
Theater, the ABC Theater, at the National Theater and mainly in the
Vinohrady Theater.
Czech film took advantage of his acting talent: he created several
character types from seducers, baddies and intellectuals to doctors.
Among others, he excelled in The Good Soldier Svejk, in the classic
1964 western parody Lemonade Joe as the villainous Horac Hogofogo, and
he furrowed the depths of the oceans and the universe in the film Baron
Prasil.
He impressed himself on the public memory particularly in the role
of Dr. Strosmajer in Jaroslav Dietl's TV serial Hospital on the
Outskirts which is being rerun on Czech Television. Kopecky complained
that Strosmajer the surgeon had become more famous than Kopecky. People
started to stop him on the street and tell him: "Doctor, help me, I've
had rheumatism for five years and don't know what to do with it...".

Slovak "Garden" Wins Premiere Film Critics Prize
The Film Critics Prize for the best film of 1995 was presented to
the Slovak-Czech co-production of Slovak director Martin Sulik Garden
(Zahrada) February 15 at Prague's Lucerna Theater. A jury of 44 eminent
specialists decided the winner. Nominations for the prestigious Czech
Lion awards were also announced during the evening's festivities. The
most nominations - 11 out of 12 categories - were carried off by Garden.
Also the creators of the Dance Teacher (Ucitel tance), directed by
Jaromil Jires, received six nominations. The other serious competitors
are Sasa Gedeon's debut, Indian Summer (Indianske leto), with five
nominations and Golet in The Valley (Golet v udoli), directed by the
recently deceased Zeno Dostal, with four nominations. The prizes,
decided on the basis of voting of the Czech Film and TV Academy members,
will be awarded March 2 in Lucerna.
The academy chose from 22 films released in 1995. The year's best
film will be either Garden, Indian Summer or Karel Kachyna's film Fany.
The title of top directors will be carried off by Gedeon, Sulik or
Jires. Nominees for the best actor in a leading role includey Martin
Dejdar (Dance Teacher), Roman Luknar (Garden) and Ondrej Vetchy (Golet
in the Valley), in the women's category the winner will be among Klara
Issova (Indian Summer), Jirina Bohdalova (Fany) or Zuzana Sulajova
(Garden), daughter of one of the film's screenwriter. An interesting
coincidence popped up in the screenplay category, where Jiri Hubac is
nominated twice - for the screenplays of Fany and Dance Teacher. His
competitors are the creators of Garden's screenplay.

SPORTS
Bad Fields Delay Start of Soccer League
Three of the eight matches in the opening round of the spring part
of the top league (Slavia - Olomouc, Ostrava - Zizkov, Brno - Liberec)
were postponed because of the bad condition of the turf during the
weekend of February 17-18. The thaw affected the surface of other
fields, which caused a few surprises. The first-place team Sparta Praha
lost its game, thanks to snow in Ceske Budejovice.
16th round: C. Budejovice - Sparta 2:0, Hradec Kralove - Zlin 0:2,
Uherske Hradiste - Cheb 0:0, Plzen - Jablonec 0:1, Drnovice - Opava 3:1.

The February 22 quarterfinals of this year's hockey extraleague saw
Sparta beat Jihlava 2:1, Vsetin shutout Kladno 3:0, Ceske Budejovice
best Slavie 5:3, and Litvinov stomp Zlin 6:3. For the first time, the
quarterfinals will be best-of-seven, modeled on the NHL.

THE WEATHER
We were blessed by a rich distribution of snow last week. The snow
lasted only for a few days in lowlands and cities (it then began to
rain). The snow then became a disgusting but harmless slush. It caused
calamity in the mountains, cars cannot make it through roads and pupils,
who went to the mountains for their spring school vacations, froze in
long columns on the snow-covered roads. Matej Husek/Jitka Motejzikova

WHO IS WHO IN CAROLINA (Part One)
My name is Matej, and this year I will be 20. I come from Prague, where
after I successfully finished grade school I studied also at secondary
school. Now I am adding to my knowledge at this university. Among my
main interests are film and music. I like Louis Bunuel and John Cale.
I am the oldest of three brothers. With my brothers and with two parents
we make a nearly perfect family. Matej Bartosek
Nobody talked about it, but the year 1976 was a successful year for
Czech soccer. This is for two reasons: We won the European title, and
I was born. Some friends claim that I am humble (but only when they are
drunk). I am Wallachian born in the beautiful Moravian village of
Tecovice (near the town of Zlin). After finishing secondary school in
the town of Otrokovice, I found myself heading toward the nation's
capital, Prague, where I am in the middle of a struggle with the Faculty
of Social Sciences professors now. I am good at soccer, tennis, skiing,
therefore I would like to be a sports journalist. My only bad quality
(again I show my humbleness) is that I like to sleep and I'm always late
for appointments and functions (Professor Truneckova could tell you
a story or two). Karel Bartek
My name is Lucka, I come from Prague, and I am 20 years old. I study
journalism and I also work at the Sociological Institute. I enjoy good
music, quality literature, kind people, a good sense of humour,
sincerity and brevity Lucie Chytrackova
I was born in Brno. I forget the exact date of my birth, but I remember
that on February 2, 1978 I celebrated my first birthday. After
I celebrated my sixth birthday, I began grade school. There I was taught
that my name is written "Darina Coufalova." After eight years in
elementary school, I decided that I needed a change and therefore
decided to study at a secondary school in Brno. Petr Bezruc, Karel
Capek, Jiri Orten, myself, and other literati are among some of the
alumni of this fine institution. Secondary school began to bore me, so
then I left Brno with my sights set on studying journalism in Prague.
What will come next? We shall see. Darina Coufalova
My family name, Dvorak, is certainly not an uncommon name in the Czech
tradition, as well as my first name, Lucka. However, my distinct
personality will never let anyone mistake me for someone else. My life
is now divided into two equally long stages. My first nine years were
spent in northern Bohemia, in Chomutov, where I was born. For the second
half of my life I lived in Hluboka nad Vltavou in southern Bohemia, near
the famous local castle. Now I am spending my first year in Prague
studying journalism at Charles University. Because some miracle has
happened, I have been admitted to the school on my first attempt to get
in. Who knows, maybe I will spend another nine years here.
Lucie Dvorakova
Hi! I am a 19-year-old faithful near-journalist from the beautiful south
Moravia town of Trebic. Originally, I had wanted to be a surgeon. But
two years ago I began thinking about the possibility of becoming
a journalist. My dreams encompass three things: long sleeps, good meals,
and the ever-present sounds of classical music (especially Beethoven).
I like children (someday I hope to have five of them), doctors, and my
family, which consists of my devoted mother, humorous father and
tacitrun brother. I speak German, French and a little English. In the
future I would like to dedicate myself mainly to polictical reporting.
Natasa Hajkova
In the begining, I was born a child without much hair. My parents scared
me into thinking that I would be bald forever, and I then broke down.
People stopped to tell me that even though I had little hair, it was
beautiful and curly nonetheless. Today I have enough hair, but I will
always remember the hypocrisy of my family.
When I was young, my cousin once threw me on the bed and made me lose my
breath. Evidently, he was a sadist.
>From my early days, I have always been afraid of dogs. But whenever
I get a postcard from my friends, there is always a picture of a dog on
the front.
I never learned to turn to the left while skiing.
I am allergic to pollen. Even in the summer I have a cold.
Should I go on? Jitka Hejtmanova
My name is Olga Huderova. I have two eyes, two ears, one nose, one
mouth, a lot of hair, two legs, two arms and 10 fingers (five on the
left hand, five on the right). I have one mother, one father, one
brother, one grandmother, three aunts, one uncle, four cousins, and
friends. What more could I want? Olga Huderova
Dark-haired 18-year-old with a slim body (perhaps) is looking for...
a job? No. I am too busy. I study at two universities, journalism and
business. Maybe I could have been looking for a flat. No, again you
missed the point. I have a flat in Ceske Budjovice and I like that place
(maybe too much). Am I looking for a boyfriend? I am happy that my
boyfriend did not hear this question. What I am actually looking for is
hard to tell, now, but maybe I will find something in the future.
Marketa Hudkova
I was born about 20 years ago somewhere in Prague. I attended
a not-so-well-known grade school, but a more recognized secondary
school. Last year I studied natural science at the university. But now,
some miracle has brought me here. Journalism has always attracted me
because I enjoy being in contact with people, and for me it is an
introspective experience. My hobbies are primarily music. I listen to
jazz and blues guitarists and I play the guitar myself in my own band.
Matej Husek
For nearly 20 years I have been wandering around this world, meeting
people who either like me or dislike me. But mostly they all take me for
who I am. I am stubborn, moody, and loving (to good people and all kinds
of animals). I try to direct my life according to my heart, however
a little reason wouldn't be a bad idea. I like beautiful music, close
friends, chocolate, and wandering nature's bounty. I may never become an
aggressive journalist, but I would like to make something visible to the
world. When you read or hear of the name Zora Kasikova in the media in
the future, you will know that it's me. Zora Kasikova
