FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (December 2 - December 9)
After Havel, Zilk Calls Scandal Closed
Former Vienna Mayor Helmut Zilk, who was not given a medal on the
October 28 state holiday because of suspicions he cooperated with the
Communist secret service (see Carolina 306), said after his private
audience in the presidential residence December 8 that he considers the
scandal about his past to be closed. Presidential spokesman Ladislav
Spacek informed journalists immediately after the meeting, announcing
that President Vaclav Havel apologized to Zilk for the blame carried by
his office for the affair.
However, Zilk came to Prague with no expectations to receive an
apology. In Vienna, Czech ambassador to Austria Jiri Grusa expressed the
Czech Republic's regret over the affair. The commission that
investigated the file about Zilk indicated there was no documentation to
support the suspicions.
Zilk said he was very satisfied with the meeting. "I am very
happy, it was a cordial and friendly meeting. It was far more beautiful
than I could have imagined," Zilk said.
The former Vienna mayor also met Chamber of Deputies Chairman
Vaclav Klaus. Zilk said he is not considering clearing his name in
court.

Constitutional Court to Decide on Lastovecka's Senate Mandate
The Supreme Court December 3 accepted the Social Democrats' (CSSD)
complaint about the irregularity of the Senate elections in Brno's city
district. Therefore, the winner of the elections - the Civic Democratic
Party (ODS) candidate and Brno Mayor Dagmar Lastovecka - cannot be given
her official mandate, and if the Constitutional Court does not overturn
the Supreme Court's decision, new elections will take place in this
district.
The Supreme Court states two media outlets broke the Voting Act
because they did not respect the official end of the campaign 48 hours
before the elections. During these two days, Czech Television broadcast
a news story with a shot of Lastovecka, and daily Lidove noviny
published two articles that, according to the complaint, gave her an
unfair advantage.
Reactions of the ODS representatives were indignant. ODS Chairman
Vaclav Klaus said he considers the Court's statement "a simple effort to
discredit elections as a basic pillar of democracy". ODS appealed to the
Constitutional Court against the verdict. The Constitutional Court will
consider whether the Supreme Court did not make a mistake and whether
Lastovecka, who has also been mentioned as a candidate for Senate
chairwoman, will lose her mandate.
Constitutional Court chairman Zdenek Kessler denied in an
interview that the fact Lastovecka is his daughter could influence the
Court's decision.
The decision on removing a Senate mandate is unprecedented in the
Czech Republic - no elected deputy or senator has lost his chair yet,
based on a complaint. The legal public perceives the verdict as being
very strict.

Czech-German Discussion Forum in Dresden
The first annual session of Czech-German Discussion Forum was held
December 4-5 in Dresden. The meeting was attended by the presidents of
both countries - Vaclav Havel and Roman Herzog - and, for the first
time, a representative of the ruling Czech Social Democrats, Parliament
deputy Vladimir Lastuvka. Students from both countries also came, and
a parallel discussion took place on the Internet.
Havel in his speech criticized the German government for its reduced
support for European Union expansion and recalled how the former
Czechoslovakia agreed to German unification in spite of some
complications. The European Union must expand despite the problems it
will bring, said Havel.
The new chairman of the German section of the Forum's Coordination
Council, German Deputy Foreign Minister Gunter Verheugen, in his speech
said that the Czechs must deal with post-World War II period of their
history and emphasized that the new German government still considers
the expulsion of Sudeten Germans an injustice. Later, during a press
conference, he was asked if his government supports returning property
to the expelled Sudeten Germans. He said the German government will not
claim any property in the Czech Republic.

President Talks with Ministers about Racism and Xenophobia
Three days before International Human Rights Day December 7,
President Vaclav Havel discussed with some government members the issue
of racism and xenophobia in the Czech Republic. "It is something to
which we should give our permanent attention. Not at all only in the
moment when something unusually alarming occurs. It must be constant,
everyday work," said Havel to the daily Hospodarske noviny.
Havel said he considers the continually stronger expressions of
racist violence and xenophobia a serious matter which could jeopardize
the Czech Republic's NATO membership. He also expressed his surprise
that in the Czech Republic racist magazines can be distributed and that
crimes which are obviously racist are not classified as such.
Prime Minister Milos Zeman said he thinks that it is important for
his government, in cooperation with the intelligence services, police
and justice, to take some concrete and effective steps against the
skinhead movement - "a specific representative of the worst that is
inside us." The prime minister also mentioned that in the Czech Republic
about 30 racially motivated murders have been registered since 1990.

ODS Favorite Benesova to Run for Senate Chairwoman
Civic Democratic Party (ODS) Vice Chairwoman Libuse Benesova will
run for the position of Senate chairwoman. ODS' Senate club nominated
Benesova as its official candidate December 8. According to the
Opposition Contract between ODS and the Social Democrats (CSSD), the ODS
candidate for the chair has the support of the Social Democrats. The two
parties have the votes needed to elect Benesova.
CSSD Senate club chairman Zdenek Vojir said he accepts Benesova as
a candidate. He repeatedly promised that the Social Democrats will
uphold the Opposition Contract. Although some Social Democrat senators
stated earlier that they will not be blindly led by the contract,
Benesova should be a sure bet in the vote to be held December 16.
Benesova's opposition will be current Chairman Petr Pithart.

Kasal Wants to Lead KDU-CSL
Vice Chairman of the Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak
People's Party (KDU-CSL) Jan Kasal will run for the position of party
chairman. Kasal, now temporarily leading the party after former Chairman
Josef Lux resigned for health reasons (see Carolina 302), announced his
candidacy December 4.
The Christian Democrats' convention in spring should come down to
a duel between Kasal and Cyril Svoboda, former interior minister, who
has yet to declare his candidacy officially. Kasal has the support of
party members in key regions of southern Moravia, the party's strongest
area. New candidates might still appear.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* Municipal elections in Prague's Dubec district will be held again

* Former chief of the Voucher Privatization Center and the Securities
Center Jaroslav Lizner, sentenced in 1996 to 6 years in prison (see

after 3 years in prison December 7.
* The presidium of the Social Democrats' central Bohemia organization
December 7 proposed a referendum on whether the Senate should exist.
Social Democrat Chairman and Prime Minister Milos Zeman would not rule
out a possible referendum, but he pointed out it would be necessary
first to pass the three-times rejected constitutional Referendum Act.

FROM SLOVAKIA
Slovak Government Clashing
The November 2 confidence vote of the new Slovak cabinet of Premier
Mikulas Dzurinda saw unexpected complications in the National Assembly.
Although the government received a vote of confidence (see Carolina
311), conflicts arose inside the coalition cabinet. The conflicts,
according to some observers, could lead to the split of the fragile
configuration of five parties.
The heart of the argument was the fact that the government program
statement did not contain the a pledge to put church schools on equal
footing with public schools, to close a treaty with the Vatican and to
establish a Catholic university. Chairman of the Christian Democratic
Movement (KDH) and Justice Minister Jan Carnogursky led the
intra-coalition opposition to the absence of the promises. The ruling
Slovak Democratic Coalition, despite its election promises, did not
accept these points because of pressure from the post-communist Party of
the Democratic Left (SDL'). Carnogursky took advantage of his influence
with assemblymen, who then got the measures included in the program
statement as a rider during discussion of the statement in the assembly.
Dzurinda was very upset with members of SDK voting with the
opposition. On the other hand, Dzurinda has been criticized for his
inclination toward the leftist wing of the SDK and his promise to Party
of Civic Understanding (SOP) that the coalition parties would support
SOP Chairman Rudolf Schuster in the coming presidential election.
Schuster will not be supported by coalition members KDH and Jan Langos'
Democratic Party (DS) because of Schuster's former membership in the
Central Committee of the Communist Party before 1989. KDH and DS support
the former President Michal Kovac.
Jiri Wazik/Jan Martinek
Meciar Will Not Run for President
Former Slovak Premier and Chairman of Movement for a Democratic
Slovakia (HZDS) Vladimir Meciar announced December 4 he will leave
public life. He denied all speculation around his possible candidacy for
president and said he would just remain chairman of HZDS.
Meciar said he will not run for any public function in the future.
"At a time I myself will determine I will leave the public life for
solitude," said a declaration signed by Meciar and sent by HZDS to the
press.
HZDS won the September general elections, but could not find
a coalition partner. Meciar gave up his seat in the legislature at the
end of October.

ECONOMY
Klaus Proposes Discussion of Czech Economy to Tosovsky and Zeman
Vaclav Klaus, chairman of the Chamber of Deputies and the Civic
Democratic Party (ODS), asked in a December 3 letter to Prime Minister
Milos Zeman and Czech National Bank Governor Josef Tosovsky to open
a dialogue about economic policy. His reason was the most recent
statistics confirming the continually worsening state of the Czech
economy. Zeman and Tosovsky accepted the offer, and the country's last
three prime ministers will meet December 11. On Zeman's suggestion the
discussion will be joined by Richard Falbr, the chairman of the
Czech-Moravian Confederation of Labor Unions, to guarantee the social
acceptability of the measures considered.
"It is no longer possible just to watch. It is the responsibility
of all of us entrusted by the people with administering the public
sphere to join our efforts, and it is our responsibility to find
a solution to the current economic problems," wrote Klaus. The main
culprit is, according to Klaus, the National Bank, which without
consulting the government took its decisions, which Klaus called
anti-growth and a brake to the economy.
The leader of the Communists' parliamentary club, Vojtech Filip,
said Klaus is becoming aware of his responsibility for the unfortunate
situation of the Czech economy.

Despite Rejection, Sales Tax Increase Game not Over
The Social Democrat government is going to put forward a motion to
increase sales taxes on gasoline and cigarettes again in January, in
spite of the fact that the bill was rejected by the Chamber of Deputies
December 2.
Abolishing differences between the domestic and European sales tax
rates is one of the preconditions for joining the European Union. While
EU smokers pay a sales tax of 57 per cent of the retail price for pack
of cigarettes, Czech smokers pay 45 per cent of the retail price in
taxes. The gasoline sales tax is 3 crowns higher per liter in EU
countries than in the Czech Republic, and it is to be increased in the
EU by another 5 crowns per liter. The question remains whether
harmonizing sales taxes should proceed step by step, as the present
proposals put it, or if it shall be realized as a single, global
decision just before Czech entry into the EU.
If the Social Democrats' motion is not passed by the Chamber of
Deputies, the Czech budget could lose 6 billion crowns in revenues.

Czech National Bank Reduces Repo Rate Again
The Czech National Bank December 3 reduced its repo rate for the
second time in the last month, this time from 11.5 per cent to 10.5 per
cent. The crown strengthened, reaching a plateau of 18 crowns to the
deutschmark.
The rate reduction gives room for an increase in consumer and
investment demand, which, it is hoped, will spur economic growth. The
reduction is also good for banks, as demand for loans and the chances
for a return on loans increase.

ECONOMY NEWS IN BRIEF
* Subsidies for the export of pork from the European Union to its
associated states, including the Czech Republic, were cut in half by
a decision of the EU Committee for Pork after admitting the validity of
Czech objections to the subsidy. The decision went into effect December
8 and will be valid until January 19, 1999.
* Former Second Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee of the
National Property Fund Michal Hruby replaced Petr Cermak as chairman
December 4. Hruby has worked in the fund since 1994.
* Unemployment in the Czech Republic is still rising. The November
unemployment rate reached 7 per cent, and in comparison with last
November 108,689 more people are out of work. There are about 360,000
unemployed Czechs.

a Lift (Rozprava o zdvizi) and House Far Away (Dum daleko). In 1968
Linhartova emigrated to France, where she studied Japanese culture and
oriental fine arts. Her last novel in Czech was Cross-Section of an
Onion (Prurez cibuli), then in French she published Twor and Carnivorous
Portraits (Masozrave portrety).
Beside the Seifert Prize, Linhartova was decorated with a Medal of
for Merits by President Vaclav Havel on the 80th anniversary of the
founding of Czechoslovakia.

Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
The exhibit will then be hosted by Hamburg, Amsterdam, Bad Steben,
Berlin and Vienna, where the Woodstock '99 celebration will culminate
next summer with 70 hours of live music and other entertainment.

Theater on the Balustrade Brings out 40th Anniversary CD
Theater on the Balustrade (Divadlo Na Zabradli) was christened
with a staging of If a Thousand Clarinets December 9, 1958. To celebrate
the anniversary, the theater released a CD paraphrasing the original
Clarinets called If 2,000 Clarinets.
The CD contains a selection of the theater's repertoire, including
legendary pieces from Ivan Vyskocil, Jiri Suchy, President Vaclav Havel,
Jan Preucil, Jiri Bartoska, Ladislav Mrkvicka and Pavel Zednicek.
Altogether the CD consists of 51 numbers in a mix of songs and dramatic
passages. The 160-page booklet shows the history of theater through
photographs and collages made from reviews, programs, petitions and
interviews.
Vyskocil, who attended the CD's official release, guided visitors
through the theater's building. The theater celebrated its 40 birthday
with the premiere of the Bulgarian play Colonel Bird.

David Copperfield, Greatest Living Magician, Performs in Prague
Before some 6,000 spectators, 13 people disappeared in each of two
performances by David Copperfield in the sold-out Sport Hall in Prague
December 3. Copperfield placed them in special seats, from which they
demonstrated their presence with flashlights after being hidden behind
a curtain. Suddenly the lights were extinguished, the curtain went up
and spectators saw an empty stage.
Copperfield evoked the same reaction through other tricks used
during his two-hour show: he walked through a giant fan, he shredded his
own arm into pieces, he made a big necktie dance and drink with a straw.
Copperfield, born David Seth Kotkin, became famous by making the
Statue of Liberty disappear, escaping from Alcatraz Prison and walking
through the Great Wall of China.

Jana Novotna Wins Exhibition BVV Open
The sixth year of the BVV Open exhibition tennis tournament
finished with Czech player Jana Novotna's win December 5. Novotna lost
only one game in the semifinal match against 15-year-old Australian
Jelena Dokic, and in the finals she overcame Slovak Henrietta Nagyova.
Novotna quickly and easily took a 6-3, 5-0 lead, but then she could not
convert six match points and made the final a small drama. She lost
three consecutive games, but finally overtook her opponent with an
aggressive game.
She said in a television interview that Brno is her territory. She
also recommended her tennis rivals not come to Brno, or at least not to
come here for a win.
This tournament will be a regular WTA Tour event starting next year
with 170,000 USD in prize money. The tournament's new director, Pavel
Slozil, promised the participation of Novotna, Anna Kurnikova and the
possible participation of Steffi Graf, Conchita Martinez, Sandrine
Testud and Dominique van Roost.

Hockey Extraleague: Kladno Wins on Vsetin's Hot Ice
The match against the standings' second-worst team, Kladno, became
a shocker for the reigning champions from Vsetin. Kladno had not won
a road match since the beginning of the season. Kladno continued to
improve in its next match, in Prague against Slavia.
The loss was Slavia's sixth in a row, and was followed by a trade
with Litvinov. Former Sparta player Petr Hrbek came back to Prague from
northern Bohemia, while 1998 World Championships bronze-medal team
member Marian Kacir was shipped out of the capital. After the trade
Slavia ended its losing streak in Pardubice.
New Trinec coach Jaroslav Jagr started his job well: in a game
between two northern-Moravian teams, Trinec tied Vitkovice and then
defeated Ceske Budejovice in a high-scoring match. Two Krals were the
stars of this match: Trinec's Richard Kral scored one goal and assisted
on four others, Budejovice's Vaclav Kral recorded two goals and three
assists.
In the 26th round, Ceske Budejovice beat Zlin, ending Zlin's
10-game streak without a loss, and then defeated Sparta, which is now
playing terribly. Opava goalkeeper Pavel Cagas helped his team defeat
Karlovy Vary by recording his fifth shutout this season and adding
another assist.
The Extraleague will not play again until December 27, while the
national team will play three friendly matches (against Canada and
Slovakia) and will participate in the international Baltica Cup in
Moscow.

WEATHER
So everything is covered in white again. St. Nicholas has brought
not only presents, possibly pieces of coal, but also snow drifts. It has
been snowing hard, in the northern and northeastern parts of the country
the snow even caused a state of emergency. For once it was not the fault
of road maintenance workers. Drifts of this kind are not manageable even
if the number of workers had been doubled. Otherwise it is freezing
(minus 10 degrees Celsius/14 degrees Fahrenheit) and the frosty weather
stays around all day. I do not believe in predictions that Christmas
will be white. I am convinced that the snow in Bohemia is quite
miraculous, and could melt completely on the morning of December 25.
