C A R O L I N A No 354, Friday, December 3, 1999.
FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (November 24 - December 1)
People Pay Their Respects to Josef Lux
Final farewells to Josef Lux were said this week in Prague and in
Chocen in eastern Bohemia, where Lux lived. Former chairman of the
Christian Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-CSL), and
deputy prime minister from 1992-1998, Lux was one of the most important
post-1989 politicians. He died last week in Seattle from complications
related to a bone-marrow transplant in his fight against leukemia (see
Carolina 353).
A requiem mass celebrated by Cardinal Miloslav Vlk for Lux was held
November 29 in a crowded St. Vitus Cathedral in the Prague Castle. Apart
from Lux's family and closest friends, President Vaclav Havel, Prime
Minister Milos Zeman and Chamber of Deputies Chairman Vaclav Klaus,
Slovak Premier Mikulas Dzurinda, Church dignitaries and the ambassadors
of some 20 countries were present. Thousands of people (media estimates
ranged from 7,000 to 10,000) came to Prague to say goodbye to Lux.
During his brief speech, Havel said Lux was a true democrat. "Let
us try today to understand his death and accept it as a challenge to
develop those best values he embodied." Thousands of people applauded at
the words of Christian Democrat Chairman Jan Kasal, who in an emotional
speech thanked Lux for his friendship. Kasal also said, "love, justice,
friendship and courage are that which today and every day we can recall
as Josef's message."
Political leaders met November 30 in the Chamber of Deputies and
paid their respects to Lux. In the afternoon a requiem was held in St.
Francis Church in Chocen and Lux was buried in a cemetery in Hemze.
Lux's family and some 2,000 people attended the funeral, among them
Slovakia's Justice Minister and Christian Democratic Movement Chairman
Jan Carnogursky.

Property Dispute Between Czech Republic and Slovakia Ends
Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman and Slovak Premier Mikulas
Dzurinda agreed in Bratislava November 25 on the division of the
remaining property of the former Czechoslovak federation. The dispute
over the property, particularly over Slovak claims for gold, have
complicated relations since Czechoslovakia broke up.
The Czech Government agreed to forgive the Czech National Bank's
receivable against the National Bank of Slovakia for the symbolic price
of 1 crown. The Czech side had a claim of 26 billion crowns. Some 4.5
tons of gold held in the Czech Republic will be returned to Slovakia in
exchange for the Slovak Government acknowledging and paying the debt.
Moreover, shares were exchanged - the Czech National Property Fund will
receive shares held by Slovakia in the Commerce Bank (Komercni banka),
which should smooth the privatization of the bank, while the Slovak
National Property Fund will receive shares held by the Czech Republic in
the General Credit Bank (Vseobecna uverova banka). Because the stakes do
not have the same value, Slovakia will lose about 2 billion crowns.
"Both sides win with this resolution," said Dzurinda. Zeman said,
"Our predecessors could not resolve this problems for five years. I am
glad we could do it in such a way as to mean success for both sides."
The politicians kept their promise to resolve the dispute within a year.
The agreement, which must be approved by the legislatures of both
countries, is perceived in the Czech Republic as a sell-out by the Czech
Government (for Slovak reactions see below).

Egon Lansky Officially Resigns
Deputy Prime Minister for Foreign and Security Policy Egon Lansky
resigned November 29. President Vaclav Havel accepted his resignation
December 1. According to Havel's spokesman Ladislav Spacek, Lansky
resigned because of health problems. He still remains a senator.
Lansky, nicknamed Mr. Europe for his role in the Government, was
chairman of the European Integration Committee and was responsible for
the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union. A very critical
report from Brussels on the country's preparations shook his position.
Another key event was the scandal involving his foreign bank account and
suspicion of tax evasion. The police suspect he did not report or pay
taxes on at least 300,000 USD he received in his illegal Austrian bank
account three years ago. The case is under investigation.
Lansky's resignation was announced by Prime Minister Milos Zeman
October 28 at a meeting with Havel. Zeman said Lansky would resign when
re recovered from his illness. Lansky had been in hospital and at a spa
for a vein infection. Lansky's successor is not yet known, while it is
possible that his responsibilities will be assumed by Foreign Minister
Jan Kavan.

Organizers of Thank You, Now Resign! Appeal Call for Public Rally
The authors of the Thank You, Now Leave! appeal arranged a public
demonstration for those dissatisfied with today's political scene and
who wish for the resignation of the country's political leadership. The
meeting is scheduled for December 3 on Prague's Wenceslas Square. The
appeal has been signed by 150,000 people and organizers say they hope
100,000 will attend the rally.
The authors, in the main student leaders from 1989, have met with
Civic Democratic Party Chairman Vaclav Klaus, Christian Democrat
Chairman Jan Kasal, Freedom Union Chairman Jan Ruml and President Vaclav
Havel. Ruml December 1 announced his resignation, saying he feels
responsible for today's poor political situation in the Czech Republic.

1989 Police Leader Jan Brajer to Retire
Journalists from the daily MF DNES recognized high-ranking police
official Jan Brajer in a Czech Television documentary about the events
of 1989 as he led the former Communist police in brutal raids against
the democratic opposition in January 1989. "At that time I understood it
that we were maintaining peace and order. I have the impression that's
what we're doing today, too," said Brajer. Brajer was a serious
candidate to lead the Prague's Police department responsible for keeping
order.
Interior Minister Vaclav Grulich and the Police President Jiri
Kolar decided Brajer should not remain in a high police's high function,
and Brajer announced November 25 that he intends to retire soon.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* Abolishing visa requirements for Mexican citizens approved by the
Government November 22 prefaced Foreign Minister Jan Kavan's visit to
Central America. During his visit, Kavan signed a Czech-Mexican
agreement on trade and economic cooperation that should provide Czech
exporters conditions identical to those of EU members. Kavan also tried
to promote tourism between the countries. As the first Czech minister to
visit El Salvador, Kavan signed a Czech-Salvadoran agreement on mutual
promotion and protection of investments.
* Czech EU membership will bring profit to both parties, and European
integration is Europe's greatest achievement in the 20th century. Those
were the words of EU Commissar for Expansion Gunter Verheugen, who
appealed to Czechs at the Czech-German Discussion Forum conference
November 27 to strenghten their aspirations to join the EU as soon as
possible. The conference took place in Brno and was attended by
politicians, diplomats, academics, lawyers and judges, the church and
students.
* Jiri Havlicek, vice chairman of the Christian Democrat District
Committee in Havlickuv Brod, replaced late, former party Chairman Josef
Lux in the Chamber of Deputies. Havlicek took his legislator's oath
November 30. With Havlicek, there are again 20 Christian Democrats in
the 200-seat Chamber of Deputies.
* On the first advent Sunday of November 28, 4,000 light bulbs went
up a 30-meter fir on Prague's Old Town Square. Czech Christmas 1999
symbolically began when Prague Mayor Jan Kasl, accompanied by other
guests and many spectators, lit the Christmas tree. The traditional
Christmas market also opened on Old Town Square - there are almost 100
stands where traditional gifts will be sold till the end of the year.
There will be a similar market on Wenceslas Square as well.

FROM SLOVAKIA
Slovak Reaction to Czechoslovak Property Settlement
"After many years, there is neither a winner nor a loser," the
daily Sme quotes Jirko Malcharek, Civic Understanding Party (SOP)
assemblyman, on the agreement to divide the remaining former
Czechoslovak federal property. The stance of former Premier Vladimir
Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia was restrained, while
a negative reaction was voiced by Marian Andel from the Slovak National
Party: "The Slovak side was robbed."
The daily Praca wrote the Czech side's gesture was as "an alleged
compromise" and wrote "no Slovak government has ever acknowledged the
alleged debt."

Denmark Imposes Visa Requirement for Slovaks
According to official information from the Danish Interior
Ministry, visa requirements for Slovak citizens have been introduced to
stop the flow of Slovak Romany asylum-seekers. Thousands have requested
asylum, but Denmark has not granted the requests - its stance is that
the Romanies chose the country for its better social and economic
conditions. For the same reasons visa requirements were imposed on
Slovak citizens by Great Britain last year and by Finland and Norway in
July. The latter states ended the requirement last month.

Dramatist Peter Karvas Died
Peter Karvas, writer, dramatist, journalist, humorist and radio and
television theoretician, died November 28 at the age of 79. He was born
April 24, 1920 in Banska Bystrica (his grandfather was the famous
painter Dominik Skutecky). He became famous thanks to his plays of the
40's like Basta and those of the 60's - Absolute Ban (Absolutni zakaz).
During the normalization years of the 70's and 80's he was not allowed
to publish, although his play Patriots from Yo City (Vlastenci z mesta
Yo) was published in 1988. After 1989 he returned to his work in the
theater and wrote about the theater and journalism.

ECONOMY
Employees of Zetor Protest
An extraordinary general meeting of one of the biggest engineering
companies in the Czech Republic, Zetor of Brno, took place November 25.
The company has been in financial difficulties for some time and
approximately 150 employees protested against management policy and
demanded the payment of back wages.
The company owes each employee an average of 20,000 crowns in
wages. Employees do not approve of the way management and controlling
shareholder Motokov want to deal with this situation. Zetor's management
and shareholders finally decided to gather income by selling the
company's best divisions. The employees argue that the sale is only
a short-term solution which will not bring about long-term improvement.
The general meeting then approved a decrease in the basic capital by 40
per cent to 2.5 billion crowns, the sale of useless machines and
a reduction of the number of employees to 2,900. It also supported the
shareholders' efforts to find strategic investors from abroad.

Czech Republic, the Skoda Fabia will be sold in Slovakia, Austria,
Germany and the states of Benelux. Skoda plans to replace the Felicia
with the new model.

last year's statistics, October imports increased by 13.5 per cent while
exports increased by 13.2 per cent. The overall 1999 deficit is 38.4
billion crowns. The trade balance deficit is expected to increase after

Czech Authors Introduced in France
The annual French project Les Belles Etrangeres introduced Czech
literature to France from November 15-27. Authors like Michal Ajvaz,
Daniela Fischerova, Daniela Hodrova, Vaclav Jamek, Sylvie Richterova,
Jachym Topol, Jan Trefulka, Vlastimil Tresnak, Ludvik Vaculik and Michal
Viewegh were invited to tour more than 20 cities (including Brussels)
and meet the French public, who listened to readings and talked with the
authors.
Jamek, the leader of the group, gave a lecture on modern Czech
literature and also spoke of modern Czech writers who had emigrated to
France, such as Milan Kundera, Jiri Kolar and Vera Linhartova.
Discussions took place in libraries, high schools, universities as well
as in cafes and in the Czech Center in Paris. The project was well
received in the French media: TV Arte shot a half-hour documentary about
Czech literature and French translations of contemporary Czech books
were released.
The project started in 1987 and since then 31 foreign literature
delegations have toured France. This spring, authors from Belgium were
invited.

Lukas Rittstein Wins Jindrich Chalupecky Prize
The 10th annual Jindrich Chalupecky Prize, for artists under 35,
was awarded to 26-year-old sculptor Lukas Rittstein. Although he
graduated from Prague's Academy of Fine Arts last year, he has recorded
success already, especially with his one-man show called From the
Kitchen to Saturn.
One part of the award is a 3-month stay in a Californian study
center. This year, media devoted attention to the prize also thanks to
the presence of President Vaclav Havel at the award ceremony.

Slavia Defeats Steaua Bucharest 4-1 in UEFA Cup
"I was lucky today, someone else will be next time," said Richard
Dostalek as he refused the role of the hero. He did not have to be so
modest, as the Slavia's midfielder scored two important goals and his
team defeated Steaua Bucharest 4-1 in the first leg of the UEFA Cup
third round. Steaua is a difficult opponent, many considered Steaua the
worst possible opponent in the round.
In a frozen Strahov Stadium in Prague, 4,000 spectators saw
Dostalek's first goal in the first minute, but then Slavia fans and
players found out why Steaua is considered the luckiest team in Romania:
Zelenka's header hit the crossbar, Dostalek's shot bounced off the post.
The second goal occurred after the assistant referee did not notice
three Slavia players offside and Pavel Horvath's shot was deflected into
the net off the bar. "Offside? Don't even tell me about it," Horvath
said. Steaua's bench was angry: "The offside goal poured lead in our
shoes," coach Emerich Ienei said.
Slavia reprised its hot start at the beginning of the second half,
as Dostalek scored his second goal after Ulich's pass. Tomas Dosek's
goal completed the rout in the 56th minute.
The Romanians also finally brouke through. "We played fantastic
soccer for 70 minutes. Then we let them have two chances and,
unfortunately, the third time they converted. It could have already been
decided," said Slavia coach Frantisek Cipro about Lutu's goal (81st
minute).

Tomas Dvorak Wins Track and Field Athlete of the Year Poll
Both of them deserved to win, but Ludmila Formanova's two wins at
the World Championships were not enough finally for her to win the title
of track and field athlete of the year. The poll of coaches, officials
and journalists awarded the title to decathlon world champion and
world-record holder Tomas Dvorak. "I wanted Lida to win. I hate polls
and I didn't care at all if I won or not," said Dvorak.
Unlike other years, the winner was not clear at all. Dvorak and
Formanova both excelled. Last year's poll winner, Sarka Kasparkova, was
down with an ankle injury, and Jan Zelezny's incredible comeback
(a bronze medal in the World Championships) was overshadowed. In the
end, Dvorak's world record of 8,994 points probably decided his win.
"I will probably never break the world record," said Formanova. She
knows that she is - with her personal best of 1:56.56 - far behind her
coach Jarmila Kratochvilova's record (1:53.28).
Zdenek Vana, who trains Dvorak and Czech number-two decathlete
Roman Sebrle, won the title Trainer of the Year. Junior Alena Rucklova
(400 meters hurdles) is the Talent of The Year.
Results: 1. Tomas Dvorak (decathlon), 2. Ludmila Formanova (800
meters), 3. Jan Zelezny (javelin), 4. Zuzana Hlavonova (high jump), 5.
Sarka Kasparkova (triple jump), 6. Roman Sebrle (decathlon), 7. Pavla
Hamackova (pole vault), 8. Jiri Kuntos (triple jump), 9. Vladimir Maska
(hammer throw), 10. Daniela Bartova (pole vault).

Slavia Praha Undefeated after First Half of Season
Slavia Praha was losing 0-1 at home to Brno in a game of the 15th
round, but Tomas Dosek scored twice in 20 minutes and assisted on
Dostalek's goal. Slavia won 3-1 and won the autumn half of the league
season with a four-point advantage. It will stay in first place also
after the 16th round, set for December 3-5 to leave more time for the
national team's preparation for the Euro 2000.
The 15th round was marked by questionable referee decisions.
Liberec was leading 1-0 over Ostrava after Liuni's goal and trying to
add another goal when Liuni was fouled in the 78th minute in the penalty
box. Cap was sent off and the referee ordered a penalty kick, but then
changed his mind. Liberec players protested vainly, but they still
managed to win.
Sparta went to Drnovice, which failed to take advantage of its many
chances. On the contrary, Vratislav Lokvenc scored on one of several
Sparta chances. In the 39th minute, a small fight broke out between
Sparta's Miroslav Banarek and Drnovice's Cervenka. Baranek was sent off,
Sparta felt cheated, its players came together and won.
Referee Hlavac ordered three penalty kicks in the game between
last-place Zizkov and Teplice. Teplice led after Verbir converted
a penalty, Zizkov then tied, but its player Gibala failed on another
penalty and Zizkov player Hunal was sent off soon after. However, Zizkov
scored again and in the 87th minute Straceny sealed a surprising 3-1 win
on the last penalty.
Results of the 15th round: Olomouc - Ceske Budejovice 1-1, Liberec
- Ostrava 1-0, Drnovice - Sparta Praha 0-1, Zizkov - Teplice 3-1, Blsany
- Bohemians Praha 1-0, Opava - Jablonec 2-0, Hradec Kralove - Pribram

Vitkovice Hockey Club's Patience Runs out
The vogueish phrase Thank You, Now Leave could be used to describe
the coaching situation in Vitkovice. Vladimir Vujtek had survived
a string of 15 games without a win (such a streak of futility is almost
never tolerated in Czech hockey), but not even the patience of Vitkovice
officials is infinite. They met to negotiate about the coaching
situation formally and with Vujtek's presence, and they finally agreed
on his resignation. Jan Sterbak, former Slovak national team coach, will
replace Vujtek and try to get the team out of the bottom of the
standings. With a new coach, the team defeated Ceske Budejovice, but
then lost to Litvinov, unable to stop the opponent's line of Kysela,
Reichel and Hubl, which scored five goals.
While Slavia won the Prague intra-city soccer derby, Sparta won the
hockey derby after Martinec's goal and somewhat pacified its fans, angry
after a loss in Kladno.
Vsetin goalkeeper Roman Cechmanek returned after breaking a finger
and in each game allowed one goal.
Last-place Havirov won on its opponent's ice and scored seven
goals, thanks to a hat trick by Ales Zima and especially to a weak
performance by Karlovy Vary. Havirov moved up to 11th place.
Results of the 24th round: Kladno - Sparta Praha 5-2, Znojmo -
Vsetin 1-3, Karlovy Vary - Havirov 2-7, Slavia Praha - Litvinov 2-1,
Zlin - Pardubice 3-2, Vitkovice - Ceske Budejovice 4-0. Preplayed game:
Plzen - Trinec 6-2.
Results of the 25th round: Sparta Praha - Slavia Praha 3-2,
Litvinov - Vitkovice 6-0, Pardubice - Trinec 4-4, Ceske Budejovice -
Zlin 4-2, Havirov - Kladno 2-1, Vsetin - Karlovy Vary 4-1. Preplayed
game: Znojmo - Plzen 3-1.
Standings: 1. Plzen 35, 2. Zlin 33, 3. Sparta Praha 32, 4. Vsetin
31, 5. Litvinov 30, 6. Trinec 28, 7. Ceske Budejovice 27, 8. Pardubice
