FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (April 3-10)
Opinions on Ombudsman Vary
The ombudsman law, which would enable the ombudsman to handle
citizens' complaints against state institutions, has recently become
a focal point of conflict. Although the opposition and part of the
governing coalition support the establishment of the position, the Civic
Democratic Party (ODS), the coalition leader, opposes it.
Interior Minister Jan Ruml of ODS went so far as to announce in
Czech daily Lidove noviny that the ombudsman is one of the mechanisms
saught by the opposition, small coalition parties and the president in
order to limit ODS's power and influence, and to balance out the
political situation. Chairman of coalition member Christian Democratic
Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL) Josef Lux confirmed this as
the move's aim. Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus called the public rights
defender an "unneccesary, misleading, false thing." Taking part in
Debata, a discussion program on the public Czech Television, Klaus said
the function is served by a majority of central organs. He named the
president, the prime minister, the ministries, parliamentary deputies
and television. President Vaclav Havel, however, considers the ombudsman
position to be very important. In his weekly radio broadcast, Talks from
Lany (Hovory z Lan), he said it is a service for citizens stemming from
the system of representative democracy.
In spite of ODS's negative approach, the law still has a chance to
pass. The opposition, as well as KDU-CSL and coalition member Civic
Democratic Alliance representatives are all planning on voting for the
law.

European Commission Chairman Jacques Santer Visits Prague
European Commission Chairman Jacques Santer arrived in Prague April
4. He spoke in Prague's Rudolfinum concert hall, supporting the Czech
Republic's efforts to join the European Union. He explained problems the
EU is trying to solve, saying the first official negotiations concerning
the Czech Republic's entrance into the EU could begin in 1998. Santer
also met with President Vaclav Havel and Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus.

Left Blok to Draw Czech-Slovak Border
The Czech Social Democratic Party will support neither the
agreement that would draw the line between the Czech Republic and the
Slovak Republic, nor the constitutional law concerning changes in its
course. A three-fifths majority, or 120 votes, is needed to approve
a constitutional law. The governing coalition cannot put the votes
together, having only 112 votes at its disposal. This means that the
standpoint of the last opposition club - the Left Blok - will be the
deciding factor in the fate of the Moravian village U Sabotu, which
would under the new law fall behind Slovak lines.
The Communists, the Association for the Republic-Czechoslovak
Republican Party and the Czech-Moravian Union of the Center have also
rejected the proposed border change.
Czech and Slovak interior ministers signed a contract January 4
concerning state border demarcation. The contract is to become valid 30
days after the legislatures of both countries approve it, as the Slovak
National Assembly has already done. One hundred and eight members of the
Czech Parliament voted to pass the law at the first reading in February.

Federal Property Division Not Over Yet
Czech members of Parliament returned from a visit to Bratislava
April 3-4 with a look of surprise etched on their faces. At a meeting
with Slovak Minister of Culture Ivan Hudec, they were presented with
a demand list of specific cultural items which the Slovaks want returned
from the Czech Republic.
According to earlier proclamations of the Slovak Ministry of
Culture, Slovakia is planning on demanding that the Czech Republic turn
over Barkany's collection of Jewish artifacts, historical bells from the
16th-19th centuries, the original furniture of the president's residency
in Topolcianky, the original mints of Saint Vaclav's golden ducats from
the National Mint archives in Kremnice, the prehistoric Ganov human
skull, the founding papers of the physician's society in Slovakia and
the tapestry depicting Deci's death in 1625. Other valuable things, such
as the belongings of Slovak General Milan Rastislav Stefanik, one of the
founders of Czechoslovakia, are still in the Czech Republic.
Slovak Premier Vladimir Meciar said he wants to reopen the property
division discussion after Czech parliamentary elections.

Questions around Czech-German Declaration
"More sources from Bonn and Prague" continue to confirm that the
text of the Czech-German Declaration (see Carolina 186) is nearly
finished, wrote Czech daily MF DNES. German and Czech ministries of
Foreign Affairs, as well as representatives of the most important Czech
parties, refuse to confirm the information.
The declaration being prepared by committees of the respective
foreign ministries should clarify controversial issues of Czech-German
history, especially from World War II and the postwar period. MF DNES
writes that the German side should recognize that the intractability of
the results of the war, and definitely reject the Sudeten Germans'
property claims. The Czech side should apologize for the brutal
expulsion of Sudeten Germans and simplify their claims for Czech
citizenship.
Seven per cent of Czech citizens favor an apology for the
expulsion, according to a poll conducted by the Factum agency. However,
a German poll showed that 55 per cent of German citizens are in favor of
an apology.
During the last four years, Czechs have been worrying about Germany
from all sides. More than half of the population considers Germany to be
an economic threat, 39 per cent sees it a political threat, and
one-fourth as a military threat. Parties of the far right, such as the
Association for the Republic-Czechoslovak Republican Party, and of the
far left, like the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia, have the
strongest apprehensions.

ODS and Physician's Chamber Agree on Insurance Regulations
Prime Minister and Chairman of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS)
Vaclav Klaus and President of the Czech Physicians' Chamber Bohuslav
Svoboda decided April 4 that treatment of acute and long-term illnesses
will be paid by insurance companies. Other treatment will be paid from
the required individual account, or directly at the doctor's office.
These points correspond to the ODS election platform (see Carolina 197).
Physicians' Union Club Chairman Dr. David Rath appraised the
meeting in these words: "Closed meetings with the prime minister, the
result of which are mere promises, cannot turn back the protests and
strikes."

Old-Fashioned Names Most Popular in Czech Republic
The most popular Czech names are Jan and Petr (10 per cent of
respondents) and Jana and Marie (8 per cent), according to the results
of a March public opinion poll by the AISA market research agency.
Other popular female names are Eva (5 per cent), Anna, Lucie and
Lenka (4 per cent). People between 50 and 59 years of age like the name
Jana the most. Older people also prefer the names Anna and Marie.
Among male names, the most popular ones after Jan and Petr are Jiri
(8 per cent), Josef (6 per cent), Tomas (5 per cent) and Martin (4 per
cent). The names Jan, Petr and Jiri are popular among all age groups.

Awards for Best Advertising
The Leo Burnett agency landed the Grand Prize April 2 in the
Louskacek 1995 advertisement competition, for its Eurotel campaign. The
Eurotel mobile-phone campaign also won in the categories of outside and
black-and-white advertising. The client of the year award went to the
Mazda Autopalace.
The organizer of the event, the Art Directors Club, considers the
support of Czech advertising creativity, individuality and ingenuity to
be the aim of the competition.

15 Per Cent More Prison Guards to Be Hired
The government decided April 3 to increase the number of Prison
Service employees by 15 per cent. About 1,200 people will start working
for Prison Service by the end of this year, when the total number of
employees should reach 10,000.
According to the Ministry of Justice, which introduced the
proposal, the current situation does not correspond to the optimum ratio
(one guard for two prisoners).
Jiri Maly, Prison Service general director, expressed satisfied
with the government's decision to accept the ministry's request.

FROM SLOVAKIA
President Kovac Does Not Sign Amended Criminal Code
Slovak President Michal Kovac used his constitutional authority and
refused to sign the amended criminal code (including the so-called act
for protection of the republic) and returned it for further discussion
to the National Assembly. Kovac said some of the new provisions would
burden Slovakia on the path into European structures, according to the
CTK Czech press agency April 9.
The act for protection of the republic was sponsored by the ruling
Movement for a Democratic Slovakia as one of the conditions of their
coalition partner, the far-right Slovak National Party (SNS), to sign
the Slovak-Hungarian Treaty (see Carolina 197). Kovac said the changes
in the criminal code are unconstitutional because they provide for
imprisonment for those who spread around false information about
Slovakia abroad or organizes public meetings "with the intent" to
subvert the republic.
Political opposition had sharply criticized the amended code before
its approval (see Carolina 195), while protests also came from the
church, student, civic and labor movements, as well as the European
Union and the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights. This
federation termed the act for protection of the republic security as
another step against freedom of expression in Slovakia.

Czech Airlines Agrees to Buy Planes
Czech Airlines (CSA) recently signed its largest aircraft purchase
contract - the airline will pay 350 million USD for 10 Boeing 737s,
according to the April 6 edition of Czech daily MF DNES.
Boeing defeated European manufacturer Airbus Industries, who
offered 15 A-319 and A-320 airplanes. According to Transportation
Minister Vladimir Budinsky, the Americans' offer was more advantageous
in decisive areas (lower price of the planes, training costs, future
economic results for CSA). According to the information released by the
newspaper, the new Boeings will replace old Russian Tu-134 airplanes and
will strenghten lines in central and eastern Europe and also in the
Middle East. The CSA fleet will neumber 27 aircraft aftert the changes,
the newspaper reported.

Skoda Automobiles to Russia
An agreement on the production of the Skoda model Felicia in Russia
was signed by representatives of the Russian company Smolensk Auto
Rossia (SAR) and Skoda management April 4. The Mlada Boleslav automaker
will be the first international manufacturer to begin producing its cars
in Russia. Together with the right to manufacture Felicias, SAR became
Skoda's distributor for the Russian market.
Intitial production capacity should be 5,000-10,000 cars annually,
though Skoda is planning on an annual future production of 50,000 cars
in Russia. The first Felicia should be assembled in summer.
The motive for moving production to Russia is the same as in
Skoda's first international business entrance (Poland) - high tariffs
and taxes on imported cars, avoidable by manufacturing on site.
The hungry Russian car market is, according to specialists, one of
the biggest markets of the future.

Currency Policies of Czech Central Bank Successful
From the Czech National Bank's (CNB) report about economic and
currency development it appears that the basic aims of the bank's
currency policies were fulfilled last year. Inflation (9.1 per cent) and
the one-year consumer price index (at 7.9 per cent at year's end)
particularly exceeded initial forecasts.
Conditions were established last year for continued, stable
economic growth this year, according to the opinions of the CNB. The
international position of the Czech crown markedly improved, in respect
to the introduction of the fully convertible crown on regular acounts.
The crown has approached the point of full convertibility.
The CNB's payment balance finished with a significant surplus,
while hard-currency reserves doubled.
In spite of all the positives, strong pressures will confront the
country's economic stability this year, foremost because of the expected
growth of real income. Consequences might include, according to CNB,
further increases in the trade deficit and a weakening of domestic
firms' competitiveness.

CULTURE
Jazz Easter
Dave Brubeck and Jon Hendricks, among others, performed at the
XXIst International Jazz Festival, held April 6-7 in Prague's Palace of
Culture. About 3,000 attended the festival, and Czech Prime Minister
Vaclav Klaus, a patron of the event, visited the festival April 7. The
irregularly held festival premiered 32 years ago.
The Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra and Holland's Magic
Frankie and Blues Disease opened for Jon Hendricks and His Sextet April
6. The 74-year-old Hendricks made a name for himself with the
vocalization of complicated jazz solos. He sang - together with his
daughter, wife and Miles Griffith - compositions of Count Basie, Louis
Armstrong and Duke Ellington, with whom Hendricks had worked. On April
7, after Karel Ruzicka and His Quartet and the Roots Saxophone Quartet
appeared the main star of this year's festival: Dave Brubeck. The music
of the 75-year-old pianist, saxophonist Bill Smith, doble-bass player
Jack Six and drummer Randy Jones thrilled the audience enough to extract
a few encores from the band. They played the popular compositions Take
Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk. Brubeck received the Grammy for lifetime
contribution to American music this year, and he canceled his European
concert tour because of it. The only European city he visited was
Prague.

Retrospective Exhibition of Milan Knizak
The rector of Prague's Academy of Fine Arts, Milan Knizak, has
organized his first retrospective exhibition in Prague's Manes Gallery
and the Museum of Applied Arts (Umeleckoprumyslove muzeum).
The earliest works are the from the 60's, devoted to lyrics and
music from Knizak's group Aktual and to photographs of "happenings" in
the mid-60's, thanks to which he gained the reputation of
a nonconformist artist. Recent works are represented by large abstract
pictures, plastics and individualistic sculptures of dwarfs, the Father
of the Country (Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who was born in and ruled
from Prague and spoke Czech) and Czech President Vaclav Havel.
The exhibition will last till May 5.

In Memoriam of Singing Poet Karel Kryl
Memorial plaques with the portrait of Karel Kryl (1944-1994) will
be unveiled in Kromeriz April 12, after many conflicts concerning
financing of the project.
The idea of installing the Kryl memorial plaque in his hometown was
recently suggested by a certain Prague entrepreneur who made a promise
to finance the work. After a disagreement with the municipial office in
Kromeriz he suddenly gave up his sponsorship. However, the sculptor Ivan
Racek was already working on the Kryl portrait at that time, and the
following development was an annoying experience for him. "Culture
should not be the space for profit-driven activities of the
entrepreneurial class, and it should not be dependent on them at all
- for culture it is an undignified situation," said Racek to Carolina.
The rebirth of the project was made possible only thanks to the civic
alliance Friends of Kromeriz, which gave support, along with the
municipiality of Kromeriz, to the continuation of the project.
The plaque will be placed on the house where Kryl lived for nine
years after the February 1948 communist coup. Some Kromeriz inhabitants
are of the opinion that the years spent in this inhospitable flat was
not part of the happy period of Kryl's life.

Czech Cabaret Legend, Entertainer Jaroslav Stercl, Dies
Actor, entertainer, and comedian Jaroslav Stercl, born November
11, 1919, died Thursday April 4 after a long illness. This versatile
artist will stay in the memory of the Czech audience as a character
actor in small roles.
Stercl, a native of Blovice (near Pilsen), originally studied at
a vocational school for civil engineering. He appeared as an amateur
actor in the play Nusle Brewery (Nuselsky pivovar) in 1938. Later he
acted in the cabaret he founded himself, The Small Theater in the Palm
(Divadelko na dlani), in the Prague Dance Hall (Prazsky santan),
Alhambra cabaret, and Laterna Magica. In the 70's he performed as
a guest in musical theatres in Prague's Karlin and Nusle neighborhoods.
Stercl's love for nature and life on the road was well-known. He
liked the hobo camps on the Berounka, Vltava and Sazava rivers. In the
60's he traveled across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Czech Tennis Players to Davis Cup Semifinal
After 10 years, Czech tennis players have moved on to the semifinal
of the Davis Cup, by beating the US team 3:2 in Prague's Sport Hall
April 5-7.
The score in matches was 1:1 the first day, after Petr Korda could
not find a weapon against American number one Todd Martin, and Daniel
Vacek beat MaliVai Washington in a five-set match. In doubles, later
shown to be the most important match of the whole quarterfinal, Vacek
and Korda suprisingly easily defeated the Patricks - Galbraith and
McEnroe - without losing a set.
In the first April 7 singles match, Martin fought a second point
for the Americans from Vacek and tied the two nations. But in the last
singles match, Korda dominated Washington.
The Czech Republic will play Sweden in September in the final four
of the most prestigious tennis contest. The second semifinal couple is
France and Italy.
Results - April 5: Korda - Martin 2-6, 4-6, 5-7, Vacek - Washington
4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
April 6: Korda, Vacek - Galbraith, McEnroe 6-2, 6-3, 6-3.
April 7: Vacek - Martin 6-7 (1:7), 3-6, 1-6, Korda - Washington
7-6 (7:5), 6-3, 6-2.

Women's Handball Team out of European Championship
The Czech Republic lost to Norway 22:26 in the last match of the
European Championship qualifications for women's handball last weekend
in Hamar. Thus, the Czech women are definitely out of the December
championships in Denmark. The Czech team was winning until the 50th
minute by one or two goals, but at the conclusion the Norwiegans took
victory to their side. Group winners move on to the championships, while
second place will be decided in the match between Lithuania and Spain.
Czech representatives were present at the last two World Championships,
in 1993 and 1995, and played in the last European Championship, in 1994.

WEATHER
Considering this year's Easter was preceded by temperatures around
1 degree Celsius/34 degrees Fahrenheit, often accompanied by strong
snows (lastly April 3 in Moravia), the weather came to its senses during
last weekend only became more wiseThe snow cover, so little
characteristic ofr these spring holidays, could not withstand the sun
and the sudden rise in temperatures. The pleasant temperatures (15
degrees to 17 degrees Celsius/59 degrees to 63 degrees Fahrenheit)
provided a good basis for typical Easter customs. In Bohemia, they
always include preparation of traditional delicacies - Easter cakes and
lambs, coloring and decorating eggs, and especially the hunt for and
preparation of willow switches. Tradition has it that men make probably
the best known Easter symbol of it - braided wicker switches (pomlazka
in Czech, kocar or tatarec in the Hana dialect, zila in Brno or tatar in
Wallachia). Folk customs, sunny weather and nature in the spring showed
again why Easter is considered one of the most beautiful holidays of the
year.

WHO IS WHO IN CAROLINA (Part Six)
Slovak-speaking American of indeterminate age studying Journalism
here.
Michael Bluhm
Long-term Carolina subscribers may be wondering what that Snyder
girl is still doing in a first-year journalism class. I have, however,
managed to ascend into the ranks of the third year. Since being accepted
to the Faculty of Social Sciences in 1993, I have been translating
Carolina into English. I will probably continue to do so for the
duration of my stay in Prague, although I should graduate with
a television journalism major this semester. I moved here from the U.S.
four years ago (yes, I'm American), I'm 21, I work as an interpreter for
journalists, and I love stories (listening to, telling and reading),
cooking, dancing and jazz.
Andrea Snyder
I probably do not have to introduce myself to Carolina's faithful
readers. I have been a part of the staff (almost like the inventory)
from the first edition (see the Who's Who from editions 113 and 156),
and nothing important has changed, neither in my professional, nor my
personal life. At the faculty I specialize in the theory and practice of
wire-service journalism. I am interested in both the history and current
studies of wire-services; this is the area in which my work is published
and I lecture. I teach the Journalism Creative Writing Seminar, where we
prepare Carolina, and edit the Czech version. I am married and have
three sons. Jiri (23) is studying law, Michal (19) is in the German
class of his high school and Ondrej (13) already knows that he will be
a journalist.
Lida Truneckova
See the facts in Carolina 113. The difference is that I am two
years older since then, i.e. 52. I am still in charge of dealing with
the computer people at the school, as to Carolina matters. From time to
time I still have to test my knowledge of English when some interpreters
get sick or do not keep their promises. Fortunately, Michael Bluhm, as
the successor of Alex Zucker, is the guardian angel for our English.
