FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (March 4-11)
Havel Visits Poland
President Vaclav Havel marked his first official visit of Poland
after his re-election by meeting Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski
March 9. The main issue during the three-day talks was the countries'
integration into NATO and the European Union. The presidents said they
agreed on the necessity of strategic Czech-Polish cooperation in the
process of joining the EU. They also discussed the floods which severely
damaged the countries last summer and about the necessity of taking
preventative steps in this area. They also made a common appeal to the
government of Bosnia to open a constructive dialogue with
representatives of Albanians in Kosovo.
On the second day of his visit, Havel and his wife Dagmar attended
a reception in his honor organized by the Czech Embassy, where the first
couple met with a number of leading Polish politicians, including former
Prime Minister Suchocka, popular editor of the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza
Adam Michnik and Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek.
Havel was warmly received in the town of Zelow, the largest Czech
enclave in Poland. After a tour of its evangelical church and Jewish
cemetery, Czech residents treated Havel to a rendition of Czech song.

Solana Urges Czech Republic to Approve NATO
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana met with leading Czech
politicians during his two-day visit to the Czech Republic (see Carolina
279). He met with both coalition and opposition party representatives,
dined with President Vaclav Havel and spoke in Parliament.
In a speech to Czech senators and Parliament deputies, Solana said
the country should not let NATO membership slip away. He said it is too
valuable a goal to play with or to risk not meeting. Solana tried to
appeal to the undecided Czech public by emphasizing the difference
between NATO and the former Warsaw Pact. NATO is not a military block,
but a security community between countries which have joined it of their
own free will, he said.
The NATO leader spoke very diplomatically and was not shaken when
Social Democrat Jan Kavan asked if it was possible for a country to
ratify NATO entry, but then not join after a negative referendum result.
Solana answered that it would be very strange for the other member
countries.
Although the Social Democrats have been calling for a referendum to
decide the issue, the party's Parliament club announced March 10 that it
would vote to ratify NATO membership.

Zeman and Klaus Put Election Cards on Table, ODA on the Decline
Social Democrat Chairman Milos Zeman made public five points of his
party's election program during his regular Friday press conference
March 6. The five commitments to the electorate are taking politics out
of state administration, immediate launching of a "clean hands"
operation, protection of the "bottom 10 million citizens," generating
a favorable climate for small entrepreneurs and creating new jobs. Those
five points immediately became the target of the other parties'
criticism. Civic Democratic Party (ODS) spokesman Vaclav Musilek called
the points "empty promises" and "populist cliche."
One day later, March 7, at a meeting of ODS mayors in Podebrady,
Civic Democratic Party Chairman Vaclav Klaus laid down the four major
themes representing the "axis of the ODS election program:" an
indisputable ownership, an inexpensive state, an unindebted future and
a limited redistribution of resources.
Despite the mass departure of many well-known politicians in the
wake of still unsettled financial scandals (see Carolina No. 277, 278),
the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) does not rule out the possibility of
running on a single ODA ballot without any alliance with another
right-wing or conservative party. That was the opinion stated by
caretaker ODA Chairman Daniel Kroupa at the ODA central assembly in
Jihlava March 7.
Three days later, March 10, the Institute for Public Opinion
Research (IVVM) announced the results of February voter-preference
research, according to which ODA received 1 per cent of respondent
support. Surprisingly, the Social Democrats' voter preferences declined
considerably in February - from 29 per cent in January to 25 per cent
- while the Freedom Union (US) increased their potential electorate from
10 per cent to 13 per cent. The research turned up 27 per cent of
undecided voters.

Unemployment Close to 6 Per Cent
The Ministry of Labor and announced Czech unemployment in January
reached a record high of 5.6 per cent of the working population, which
means about 290,000 people without jobs. Although a warmer February may
bring more jobs in agriculture and construction, analysts say the
figures mean a change in unemployment trends.
Experts say the main problem is not not total unemployment, but
rather structural and geographical divisions of unemployment.
Traditionally, the highest unemployment has been in the northern part of
the country. The industrial and agricultural districts of Most,
Chomutov, Louny, Karvina, Teplice, Prerov and Znojmo have an
unemployment rate of at least 10 per cent. Prague and Mlada Boleslav,
the home of carmaker Skoda Auto, owned by Volkswagen, offer the most
jobs.
The Labor Ministry, together with the ministries for regional
development and industry, are preparing a program to assist in regions
of high unemployment. The program should support small businesses and
direct investors toward those regions. Potential solutions to the
problem are complicated by the miserable housing situation - it is not
common in the Czech Republic to relocate to find jobs, which cements the
differences between regions.

Romanies Want U.S. Asylum
Romany (Gypsy) human rights organizations from Ostrava visited the
American embassy March 5 and allegedly asked for mass asylum for all
Czech Romanies. They asked for an audience with the ambassador, but
spoke to another embassy employee. Ostrava Democratic Union Chairman
Miroslav Holub said the meeting did not resolve anything, but ended with
the promise of future talks. Chairman of the Ostrava branch of the
Romany Civic Initiative Josef Facuna said that if the request is denied,
they will turn to the U.S. Congress.
Press Secretary Joselyn Green said the U.S. embassy has not received
a formal request.
Petra Jedlickova, an employee of Gamp, an agency which does
paperwork and other formalities for Czechs who want to go to the U.S.,
said the United States will protest Romanies moving to the country. Each
applicant must prove he has enough money to cover the cost of living in
the U.S. for a certain period of time.
Helsinki Committee for the U.S. Congress legal advisor Schlager
visited Romany families in Ostrava March 10, and was accompanied by
Carleton Bulkin of the U.S. embassy. Ostrava Romany human rights
organizations held a press conference after Schlager's visit. Schlager
said she cannot give any information to the media before she presents
her report.

Czech Ambassador to Sweden Resigns
President Vaclav Havel accepted the resignation of Czech ambassador
to Sweden Petr Kolar, who submitted it after a discussion with Foreign
Minister Jaroslav Sedivy. According to CTK news agency, Sedivy rebuked
him for making a "serious professional mistake when (Kolar)
undiplomatically" commented on the Czech political scene at the end of
last year.
Kolar, an independent, worked as an advisor to the former Foreign
Minister Josef Zieleniec and helped manage the Civic Democratic Party's
(ODS) election campaign two years ago. He claimed last November that ODS
leadership knew about businessman Milan Srejber's financing the party.

Mystery of Masaryk's Death Remains Unsolved
On March 10, 1948, 12 days after the Communists took power in
Czechoslovakia by force, the dead body of the Foreign Minister Jan
Masaryk was found in the courtyard of Cerninsky Palace (the Foreign
Ministry) under the windows of his apartment. According to the Czech
media, which paid much attention to the anniversary, in the following
50 years no one has managed to establish for certain whether the
minister committed suicide by throwing himself out of the window
- backwards - or whether he was the victim of a political assassination.
Masaryk was the son of the first president of the independent
Czechoslovakia, Tomas Garrigue Masaryk. He was a well-known diplomat who
for many years worked as Czechoslovak ambassador to England, spoke
several languages and, taking after his mother, he was also an
accomplished pianist. At the end of his political career, he played an
important role in Czechoslovak diplomacy when holding the position of
foreign minister.
After the Communists, under ringleader Klement Gottwald, took power
in February 1948, Masaryk was one of the few politicians from the
previous government who decided to stay on. His presence was more than
desirable for Gottwald because of Masaryk's unprecedented popularity
both in Czechoslovakia and abroad.
When the news of his death broke on the morning of March 10, no one
could connect the minister's well-known optimism and love of life with
the suicide theory presented by the state police. The witnesses in the
case were many and their testimonies often contradictory.

Charles University Awarded New Building
The Education Ministry awarded Charles University (UK) a new
building to be used for school's humanity departments next spring. It is
in Jinonice on the outskirts of Prague, and both UK Rector Karel Maly
and Education Minister Jan Sokol were present at the ceremony.
Construction costing more than 250 million crowns has been
finished. About 60 million crowns of construction is left, which UK
spokesman Martin Bartunek says the ministry will pay. When construction
is complete, a 250-seat lecture hall and 60 smaller classrooms will be
available.
Language learning centers and computer labs, a large library and
cafeteria should also be part of the complex. Students of the College of
Social Sciences, the College of Humanities and others will use the new
building. Bartunek said UK is to discuss founding a 17th college, which
would offer education in social sciences and humanities.
The Education Ministry began construction in 1996 and stopped in
1997 because of a shortage of funds. Later that year, Jiri Grusa, the
education minister at that time, agreed to transfer the building to
Charles University.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* Businessman and former tennis pro Milan Srejber, the donor of 7.5
million crowns to the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), was questioned by
the police March 10 in connection with former ODS Vice Chairman Libor
Novak's charges on tax evasion. Srejber was subpoenaed for the second
time, after he failed to appear for a February 25 deposition. Four weeks
have passed since Novak was taken into custody, and some say his
incarceration was prolonged because witnesses are ignoring subpoenas.
* Because of the latest events in Slovakia, the Czech Republic is
preparing a complex analysis which should become the basis for future
policy toward Bratislava, said Foreign Minister Jaroslav Sedivy.
* The textile factory of the PAJA company in Trutnov exploded and
burned March 9, seriously injuring five people. Two of the field
spinners and a flax spinner, worth tens of millions of crowns, were
completely destroyed. According to experts, the flax dust itself
probably caught fire.

FROM SLOVAKIA
Czech - Slovak Relations Worsen
Slovakia has officially protested against Czech President Vaclav
Havel's comments on the political situation in Slovakia. The Slovak
Foreign Ministry said Havel's rebukes were unacceptable interference in
their internal affairs.
Havel said before he left for a visit to Poland that he was worried
about the latest developments in Slovakia, but expressed hope that
democracy would eventually prevail. Polish President Aleksander
Kwasniewski supported Havel's position, saying some practices of Premier
Vladimir Meciar and his government were far from the standards in
democratic countries.
The latest wave of criticism of the situation in Slovakia arose
after Meciar took over some presidential powers, replaced 28 of 42
ambassadors, cancelled the new date of the referendum on NATO and direct
presidential election and granted amnesty to any persons who may have
planned or participated in the kidnapping of former President Michal
Kovac's son.

Czech Mountain Climbers Dying in High Tatras
Five citizens of the Czech Republic have died in the first half of
March during their climbing tours in Slovakia's High Tatra Mountains.
The unusually high number of accidents in the last two weeks was caused
both by exceptional meteorological conditions, with rocks covered by
a layer of snow, and by mistakes and inexperience on the side of the
mountaineers. The majority of the accidents happened during descent,
after slipping on the icy surface.
The number of Czech tourists in High Tatras has increased in the
last few years. "Czech mountain climbers and tourists are coming back to
the Tatras. They travelled to the Alps after the borders were opened to
the West. Now they are getting tired of the West's giants and are
discovering the charm of the High Tatras," said Lubomir Jursky, employee
of the Mountain Service in Stary Smokovec, to Czech daily Lidove noviny.

ECONOMY
State Sells Share in IPB
After long negotiations, the state has sold its share in the
Investment and Postal Bank (Investicni a postovni banka, IPB) to the
European branch of the Japanese investment company Nomura. The contract
was signed March 8.
Nomura bought a 36.7-per-cent share in the bank for 3.03 billion
crowns. According to the contract, Nomura will raise the capital of the
bank by 6 billion crowns and possibly invest the same amount in the form
of 10-year bonds. The state was in a weak position during negotiations.
It repeatedly failed to participate in capital increases during the
years 1993-96, weakening its share in the bank. The purchase was also
complicated by rumors about the bank's assets, reserves and securities.
And criminal charges against the bank's top two managers for improper
transactions did not improve the image of the bank, either. (For details
see Carolina 246-248.)
At an IPB extraordinary general meeting held March 9, Jan Klacek
(former director of the Economic Institute of the Czech National Bank)
was elected general director and chairman of the board of directors.
Jiri Tesar, reigning general director and one of the two charged, was
elected chairman of the supervisory board.

Changes in Brewery Rankings
The Pilsner Urquell (Plzensky prazdroj) brewery was announced as
the most successful brewery of 1997 with its production of 700,000
hectoliters more than in 1996, when it was also number one. The
Nosovice-based Radegast, which had not concealed its efforts to increase
production, met with failure by putting out 1.2 million hectoliters
instead of the expected 2 million. Radegast thus lost its number-two
position among domestic producers to Prague Breweries.
Certain shares - both in Prazdroj and in Radegast - are owned by
the Investment and Postal Bank (IPB, see above) and by Nomura. Those had
last fall attempted to merge the breweries and consequently push out
from the Radegast group minority shareholder Bass of Great Britain,
which controls Prague Breweries (See Carolina 260).
The planned merger was rejected by the Office for the Protection of
Economic Competition, and the appeal is now being heard. Some analysts
do not consider it out of the question that Nomura would intentionally
weaken Radegast in favor of Prazdroj, with the aim that BASS would leave
the Nosovice company. IPB spokeswoman Barbora Tacheci denied those
speculations in her March 6 interview for daily MF DNES.

CULTURE
Musical Academy Awards for 1997 without Surprises
Prague's Lucerna March 7 hosted the Musical Academy Awards ceremony
for 1997, rewarding musicians and composers of domestic popular music.
This year the winged figures sculpted by Jaroslav Ron were not granted
under the name Gramy for the first time, because representatives of the
American Grammy award protested against the Czech name. The best singer
trophy was taken by Daniel Hulka, the star of Dracula in the Prague
musical. The best female singer award was given to Lucie Bila, and the
award for best music band went to Ostrava's Buty.
On the list of nominees there was not one surprising name. The best
album award went to Emotional Investment (Citova investice) from Petr
Hapka and Michal Horacek, and their hit I'm Looking, I'm Looking (Divam
se, divam se) was voted best recording. Petr Novak was posthumously
voted into the Hall of Fame. In the genre categories the winners were
the band Kabat (hard and heavy), Lenka Filipova (mainstream), Jiri
Stivin (jazz), the Slapeto chorus (traditional music), Robert Krestan
(country), Jaromir Nohavica (folk) and Liquid Harmony (dance music). The
award for best alternative music was given to Iva Bittova, who decided
not to accept the award. In this year's ceremony there were no awards
given in professional categories like sound, cover art and production.
The ceremony was hosted by the Slovak singer Miro Zbirka, who lives
in Prague, proving that the Czech cultural scene is in search of quality
hosts. One of the hosts who performed during the evening was Slovak
singer Marika Gombitova, who received a rousing ovation. Visitors could
listen to recorded versions of bands like Wanastovy vjecy, Lucie,
Chinaski, Buty, Daniel Hulka and also songs from the new but not yet
available albums of Lucie Bila and Bara Basikova.

Thirty Million Crowns to Support Czech Cinematography
The Council of the State Fund for the Support and the Development of
Czech Cinematography (SFPRCK) has given 30 million crowns for the
support of new projects. The main grant of 6.4 million crowns will go to
the new film The Return of the Idiot (Navrat idiota) by Sasa Gedeon,
inspired by Dostojevsky's characters brought into the present. In the
category of documentary and animated film, the biggest amount (1.875
millions Czech crown) will be given to Jan Balej's film One Night in One
City (Jedna noc v jednom meste). The council also gave 950,000 crowns
for the Complete catalogue of the Czech Video Center, which will promote
Czech cinematography and also gave 200,000 crowns for activities
connected with nominations for the best foreign-language Oscar.
The Czech daily Lidove noviny, in Vladimir Just's article, noted
that the official custodians of SFPRCK film property, the companies AB
Barrandov and Zlin Studios, owe the fund millions of crowns which they
have received from television stations for granting broadcast rights for
the films but have yet to return to the fund.

After 18th Round, Bohdanec Alone
Drnovice's 0-4 loss in Pribram against Dukla was the soccer
league's 18th round's biggest story. Drnovice continued its trip down
the standings while Viktoria Plzen strengthened its hopes to maintain
league membership with another win. Lazne Bohdanec remains in last
place, 11 points behind.
The match between Slavia Praha and Boby Brno was played March 9. In
Boby's uniform played Martin Hysky, the former Slavia player, but he did
not celebrate his debut with any success. Slavia defeated Brno 1-0 on
Koller's goal in the 24th minute.
Results: Ostrava - Opava 1-0, Plzen - Teplice 2-0, Liberec - Hradec
Kralove 0-0, Zizkov - Olomouc 0-0, Dukla - Drnovice 4-0, Ceske
Budejovice - Sparta Praha 0-1, Lazne Bohdanec - Jablonec 1-3, Slavia
Praha - Brno 1-0.

Slavia's Trip to Cup Winners Cup Complicated
Slavia Praha tied in the first quarterfinals of the Cup Winners Cup
against VfB Stuttgart 1-1 March 5. The opponent, weakened by injuries,
was unexpectedly good and lost a win after a possible error by the
referee.
Slavia took the lead in the 40th minute, though Vacha's goal should
have been disallowed for offsides. After the break, Stuttgart scored as
Stejskal let Poschner's shot under his body for the goal. Vagner missed
the last chance to win the match for the home team, kicking a penalty
shot very poorly. The 1-1 tie moved Stuttgart closer to advancing, but
Slavia can still avenge itself in Germany.

Budejovice and Zlin are in striking distance.
Only two matches from this battle interested Czech fans. Trinec
defeated Vitkovice in a duel of the league's second- and third-place
teams, and Slavia got spanked by Sparta in the fourth Prague derby this
year.
Results of the 48th round: Pardubice - Slavia Praha 2-1, Sparta

but it was for 10 million crowns. Captain Vladimir Ruzicka and coach
Ivan Hlinka took it from the hands of Prime Minister Josef Tosovsky and
hockey union president Karel Gut. Each member of the team will get the
same amount of about 380,000.

Pole Vaulter Bartova Will Stay European No. 1 till Winter
The best indoor pole vault event ever sprang from the battle between
Daniela Bartova and American world champion Stacy Dragila at a track and
field meet in Sindelfingen, Germany. Both athletes jumped 4.48 meters
- a new world record. Dragila managed it on her second attempt, Bartova
on her third. Both then tried to jump 4.53 meters, and Bartova came very
close to doing it on her second attempt.
European indoor championships second-place finisher Bartova became
the "only" European record holder. Because the indoor season is ending,
it is very probable she will maintain the record till winter. Before the
season she set for herself the goal of jumping 4.5 meters. "Jumping that
would make me happy, but now I am only glad," she said.

WEATHER
After a short drop in temperatures at the beginning of the week, the
weather is playing with us again. The highest temperature ever recorded
for a March 4 was noted in Prague - 21 degrees Celsius/70 degrees
Fahrenheit, and also the rest of the territory warmed up a bit. On March
10, a strong wind blew over the Czech Republic, leaving broken roofs
behind and causing one tragic car accident. It snowed in the highlands
on the weekend, but all was crowned by the events of March 10's morning:
it snowed throughout the republic and the snow caused memorable traffic
jams (our professor came one hour late for class). On March 11 you could
not find a snowflake in Prague. The forecast still talks about cold
weather, but how you can trust that...
