FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (October 6 - October 13)
Civic Democratic Party Demands Changes
The Opposition Contract, signed between the ruling Social Democrats
and the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) after last elections, is probably
jeopardized for the first time in its fifteen months lasting history.
After the ODS leadership session October 8, party and Chamber of
Deputies Chairman Vaclav Klaus criticized the Social Democrat Government
for the country's economic situation. "We are convinced that the time
has come for a serious turnaround and thus we call on the Social
Democrats to negotiate according to Article 10 of the Opposition
Agreement." Article 10 says that amicable negotiations should begin if
one party believes the agreement is not being fulfilled.
Prime Minister Milos Zeman threatened three ministers with recall
during the weekend - Deputy Prime Minister Egon Lansky, Deputy Prime
Minister Jaroslav Basta and Regional Development Minister Jaromir Cisar.
After meeting with President Havel October 10, Klaus said the
ministers' exit would not be enough, because ODS wants not just
"cosmetic changes, but unexpected and non-standard negotiations with
unexpected alternatives." Havel said he would be "a friend of change, if
it leads to an improvement."
ODS Vice Chairmam Miloslav Benes October 11 floated the idea of
a government comprised of all parties except the Communists. ODS
parliamentary club Chairman Vlastimil Tlusty said there must be at least
significant changes in the Government, but he would prefer the creation
of a new government.
The Social Democrats declared that its representatives are ready,
if ODS withdraws from the Opposition Contract, to negotiate with all
other parties except the Communists to form a new government.

Dzurinda Negotiates with Zeman about Property Division
Slovak Premier Mikulas Dzurinda arrived October 7 for an official
two-day visit of the Czech Republic. Probably the most important part of
his negotiations with Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman were problems
concerning the division of the property of the former Czechoslovakia.
The statesmen arranged the exchange of Commercial Bank (Komercni banka)
and Universal Credit Bank shares, which will go to the national property
funds of both countries. Dzurinda was later criticized by the Slovak
opposition, which claimed the shares of Commercial Bank are worth more.
The negotiations were successful and the division should be
completed according to last year's agreement, i.e., by the end of
November.

Intellectuals Meet Again in Prague at Forum 2000
For the third time intellectuals from throughout the world met at
the Forum 2000 conference in Prague Castle October 10-13, where they
discussed the hopes and dangers for humanity entering the new millenium.
Czech President Vaclav Havel's invitation to the Forum was accepted by
more than 50 personalities, among the Forum co-leader and Nobel Peace
Prize winner Elie Wiesel, former South African President Frederick
Willem de Klerk, Polish journalist Adam Michnik and Russian legislator
and human-rights advocate Sergei Kovalyov. "All of them here will debate
in a friendly and informal atmosphere the problems of our civilization,"
said Havel in his opening speech.
Forum 2000 was joined by the Student Forum, where young people from
all over the world discussed the problems under consideration in the
larger Forum. Some students also took part in panel discussions with the
personalities of the Forum.
This year's conference was once again organized by the Japanese
Nippon Foundation, led by financier and philanthropist Yohei Sasakawa.
In his speech Sasakawa emphasized the importance of spreading the ideas
of the forum to other parts of the world. "The world is one family and
all its inhabitants are brothers and sisters," said Sasakawa of the
credo of his father.
"Traditional politics, which formed over centuries, is no longer
suitable for the world. It is necessary to develop international
cooperation and new political thought," said Kovalyov.
Tomas Havlin, Jan Vedral, Jr./Sofia Karakeva
Czech Politicians and Forum 2000
"I haven't directly had the opportunity to acquaint myself with the
results, but I've heard they aren't very specific. They should select
one or two topics and finish them off." - Jan Kasal, chairman of the
Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL).
"The results are nil. For this conference to have any raison
d'etre, it would have to be based on the ability to build a project
which could be analyzed and criticized. The man who chaired the Forum,
the man who made an opening address is not capable of managing any such
project." - Miloslav Ransdorf, vice chairman of the Communists (KSCM).
"These forums always risk not having any benefit at all. I value
this conference as an attempt. The results can't be estimated yet."
- Vladimir Spidla, Vice-Chairman of the ruling Social Democrats (CSSD).
"Of course, the conference can be an inspiration for intellectuals.
These people's discussions and their mutual influence might even change
their actions when they return home." - Vladimir Mlynar, Freedom Union
(US).
"Each human society needs visions, however far removed they are
from reality. Although we might have to question the feasibility of the
opinions of the participants of the forum, it is good at least to
consider them." - Ivan Langer, vice chairman of the Civic Democratic
Party (ODS).
European Commission Criticizes Czech Republic's Preparations for EU
The European Commission's annual report on the preparations of EU
candidate countries for joining the European Union, released in Brussels
October 13, is one of the hottest topics in the Czech media.
The report criticizes the Czech Republic for the same problems the
EU has followed since 1997: EU legislation has not been adopted, laws
differing from EU norms are being accepted, the reform of the state
administration is not taking place and the judicial system is an
embarrassment. Other problems include the poor standard of living of the
Romany minority, financial crime and unfinished privatization.
Commissar for EU Expansion Gunter Verheugen said he does not want
the report to harm Zeman's Government. It is, however, probable that the
report will lead to changes in the Cabinet, with the most likely
casualty being Deputy Prime Minister Egon Lansky, who is responsible for
the country's integration into the EU.

Visa Requirements Change
The Social Democrat Cabinet is taking a very careful stand in
granting visas for citizens of countries which need visas to enter
countries of the EU. So far, the Cabinet has decided to require visas
for Cuba, North Korea and Cambodia. Prime Minister Milos Zeman confirmed
the Cabinet has not introduced visa requirements for Russia and Belarus
so as not to damage trade relations with the countries. The same
reasoning holds for the exemption granted to Chinese holders of
diplomatic, official and special passports.
The Cabinet is to discuss potential visa requirements for other
former Soviet republics, particularly Ukraine, by the end of the year.
The Interior Ministry said it was necessary to control the movement of
foreigners in the Czech Republic because of experiences with Ukrainians
working illegally here.
The ministry would like to harmonize Czech visa policy with that of
EU countries as dictated by the Schengen Agreement.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* The Chamber of Deputies October 12 passed into a second reading
amendments to the Criminal Code extending the statute of limitations for
some crimes related to the former communist regime. The amendments
enable the prosecution of some crimes for which the statute of
limitations expires at the end of 1999. However, the deputies agree that
some passages must be adjusted.
Petra Kovacova/Denisa Vitkova
* The Chamber of Deputies October 12 tabled for the second time
a bill on registered partnerships for homosexuals. The bill would allow
homosexual partnerships to have a similar legal weight to civil
marriages. The bill's opponents succeeded in returning it to committees
for further discussion. The bill will be discussed at the Chamber of
Deputies meeting in December.
Gabriela Bobkova/Denisa Vitkova
* Trade Minister Miroslav Gregr abandoned his proposal to honor
Chinese ambassador to Prague Jen Pcheng with the state medal the Order
of the White Lion. The main reason against awarding the highest state
medal is the human rights breaking in China. Senate Chairwoman Libuse
Benesova of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) said she considers Gregr's
suggestion a diplomatic faux-pas. She said the proposal should have been
presented to the Government first and then to the public. Chamber of
Deputies Chairman Vaclav Klaus (ODS) also criticized the proposal on
behalf of the chamber.
Gabriela Bobkova/Ondrej Maly
* A French Mirage 2000 fighter plane crashed on the evening of
October 12 at the air force base in Caslav. It is the first crash of
a foreign military aircraft in the Czech Republic in the last 10 years.
For as yet unknown reasons, the pilot abandoned the plane in front of
the runway just before landing. The pilot managed to eject in time and
was unhurt. The aircraft was completely destroyed.

Hillary Clinton in Bratislava
American first lady and Senate candidate for New York state Hillary
Clinton visited the Slovak capital city of Bratislava October 6 for the
first time in three years. After meeting with President Rudolf Schuster
and Premier Mikulas Dzurinda, she expressed her support for Slovak
ambitions to join the EU and NATO, and emphasized that ethnic groups
should participate in public life. She also supported the efforts of the
Slovak Government to improve their relations with Hungary and she
praised the project for reconstruction of a bridge between Slovakia's
Sturovo and Hungary's Ostrihom.
Clinton met with representatives of 18 non-governmental
organizations and complimented Eye 98 (Oko 98), their project for the
public monitoring of elections.
Clinton, whose visit to Bratislava lasted 5 hours, said her husband
will visit Slovakia next year.

ECONOMY
South African Breweries Buy Biggest Czech Breweries
South African Breweries (SAB) became the new owner of the Czech
breweries Pilsner Urquell (Plzensky Prazdroj) and Radegast. The sale of
the year for the Czech brewery market took place unexpectedly October 6.
The Japanese investment bank Nomura will receive for its
51-per-cent share in the company Czech beer (Ceske pivo) 629 million USD
(the equivalent of about 23 billion crowns) in two roughly equal
payments. SAB is to receive the rest of the shares in Czech Beer by July
2001. By acquiring the Czech breweries, SAB became the world's
third-largest beer producer. In the contract, SAB promised that Pilsner
Urquell will replace Castle as SAB's flagship brand for the world. SAB
has plans to expand into the German, British and American markets.

Czech Mobil Receives License
According to the contract signed by Czech Mobil, which won the
recent tender for the Czech Republic's third mobile-phone license, and
the Transportation Ministry October 12, Czech Mobil cannot merge with
any competing telecommunications company for three years. However, the
contract does not deal with some of the most important factors leading
to Czech Mobil's victory in the tender, such as price and quality. The
Canadian telecommunications company TIW owns 51 per cent of Czech Mobil,
and the Czech Investment and Postal Bank (IPB) owns 49 per cent.
In three months, Czech Mobil must start providing service and its
satellite coverage must exceed 37 per cent of the country's territory.
Czech Mobil will pay 1 billion crowns for the license. The contract also
contains high fines for non-fulfillment by Czech Mobil.

Czech Insurance Company Loses Monopoly on Liability Insurance
The Finance Ministry issued licenses to provide liability insurance
to six insurance companies October 11: the Czech-Austrian Insurance
Company, The Hop Growers' Insurance Company (Chmelarska pojistovna),
Allianz, Kooperativa, the Commercial Insurance Company and the Czech
Insurance Company, which previously had a monopoly position. Motorists
will now have the chance to choose the provider of their legally
required liability insurance.
Prices for liability insurance were not disclosed but a significant
price decrease is not expected, because there is an official minimum
price until 2002. Providers, however, will be offering many additional
services to attract customers.
According to the law, the deadline for car owners to get liability
insurance is December 31. If they do not, they could be fined up to
20,000 crowns or have their driver's license suspended.

Kozeny Calls on Zeman to Intercede in Baku
Some Czech newspapers are claiming that clients of the liquidated
Harvard Industrial Holding who sold their shares back to Harvard founder
Viktor Kozeny and who should receive 12,000 crowns for the shares by the
end of the year, might not get their money.
The reason is that Kozeny might not have enough money. Kozeny, the
Czech-born Bahamian resident with an Irish passport, invested some of
his reputed fortune of 15 billion crowns in the Azerbaijani version of
voucher privatization. Azerbaijan President Gejdar Alijev, however,
changed the format of privatization last fall - there has been a delay
in the distribution of the shares, and some of the most significant
companies will probably not be privatized using the voucher method.
Kozeny owns about 10 per cent of all vouchers, but now can do almost
nothing with them.
Therefore, Kozeny asked Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman to
intercede on Kozeny's behalf with President Alijev. Kozeny evidently
wants Zeman to lobby for his investments. According to experts quoted in
the daily Lidove noviny, the Azerbaijani Government is hesitant to let
Kozeny, who has the reputation of a merciless shark, own one-tenth of
the country's economy.

INVEX - Looking-Glass into the next Millenium
About 920 participants from 18 countries attended the 9th
International Information and Telecommunications Technology Fair (INVEX)
in Brno September 4-8. The fair was opened by a round-table discussion
called The Czech Republic on the Road toward the Information Society. In
the debate, Finance Minister Pavel Mertlik said transparency and access
to information are vital preconditions for cultivating the business
climate in the Czech Republic, according to the daily MF DNES. That is
the reason why the Government, after making the Commercial Register
(www.justice.cz) and the Small Business Register (wwwinfo.mfcr.cz)
accessible via the Internet, will also make the Land Register available
next year.
INVEX-Computer '99 attempted to serve as more than a meeting place
for a narrow circle of experts and IT engineers. The program Come to the
Future was open to anyone who wanted to learn something new about
multimedia, internet, DVD or computer games.

ECONOMY IN BRIEF
* The September rate of unemployment in the Czech Republic did not
change in comparison to August's numbers and remained at 9 per cent.
According to economists, the stability is temporary and the rate should
reach 10 per cent in the next few months.

Slovak Opera in Prague
After four years, the Slovak National Theater's opera performed in
Prague's National Theater with a gala concert of famous arias by Slovak
opera singers October 12. The next day, they performed the little-known
opera Mephistopheles by Arrigo Boito, in which the title role was
performed by Peter Mikulas, although the biggest star of the two nights
was Peter Dvorsky.
Cooperation between the two countries' national theaters resumed
after Juraj Hrubant returned as head of the opera in Slovakia. Hrubant
and Slovak National Theater Director Dusan Jamrich had been fired by the
previous Government of former Premier Vladimir Meciar. Cooperation will
continue, as the Czechs' National Theater is to perform in Bratislava
this weekend and more performances there are planned for next year. The
political leaders of both countries, Milos Zeman (the Czech Republic)
and Mikulas Dzurinda (Slovakia), are planning to see some Slovak operas
in Prague together.

Mensik Museum Opens in Ivancice
On October 9, admirers of the outstanding actor and narrator
Vladimir Mensik could celebrate the gala opening of the Vladimir Mensik
Museum in Ivancice, his hometown. Besides a statue of the actor and the
suit he wore at his wedding, visitors can also see many photographs and
documents relating to Mensik's life. The museum is located on Palacky
Square (Palackeho namesti) in Ivancice and is open daily.
Mensik (born October 9, 1929 in Ivancice, died May 29, 1988 in
Brno) acted for a short time in the D 34 Theater in Prague. Later he
gained fame acting in more than 150 movies, including Milos Forman's
Loves of a Blonde (Lasky jedne plavovlasky), Lemonade Joe (Limonadovy
Joe), All the Good Natives (Vsichni dobri rodaci), The Fall of Icarus
(Ikaruv pad), Migratory Birds (Tazni ptaci), The Cottagers (Chalupari)
and The Visitors (Navstevnici). Thanks to his outstanding ability for
improvisation, he also became a television star on live programs.

took pictures in Rumania, Turkey and Kosovo. His photo
Flight of the
Kosovo Refugees won the award as Picture of the Year
1999. The
international jury selected from 2,321 pictures from 178
photographers
living in the Czech Republic or Slovakia. The exhibit will

Martin Meiner in Rudolfinum
An exhibit of the work of Martin Meiner opened a year of Czech art
at Prague's Rudolfinum Art Gallery October 7. The large exhibit of the
Prague artist, who has returned to the Czech Republic after a year and
a half abroad, focuses on Meiner's works from the last two years. The
exhibit will last until November 28.
Meiner, born in 1959, first made his talent known during his
studies at Academy of Fine Arts (AVU) in Prague, from which he graduated
in 1985. In 1994 Meiner won the Jindrich Chalupecky Award, which
provided him a scholarship in the Headlands Center for the Arts in
California. His stay in America finished with a one-man exhibit.

Velka Pardubicka: Second Consecutive Win for Peruan
One horse ruled the fabled Velka Pardubicka steeplechase for the
second year in a row. Peruan, an 11-year-old bay from the horse-racing
center in Zamrsk, resisted the pressure of competition from Great
Britain and Ireland and in the finish defeated the favorite, Ireland's
Risk of Thunder. After 11 years Peruan became the first horse to win two
consecutive Velka Pardubicka.
Risk of Thunder with jockey Ken Wheelan led the race from the start.
Wheelan replaced jockey Ruby Walsh, who had broken a leg in an earlier
race. "I had no problems with it, I know Risk well, I won several races
with him," said Wheelan. Risk of Thunder is owned by Hollywood star Sean
Connery.
Peruan, under jockey Zdenek Matysik the biggest Czech hope, did not
run rashly past Risk of Thunder, but cut into Risk's lead gradually and
took the lead in the middle of the race. The other horses could not keep
up with the Czech-Irish couple and in the last turn a dramatic sprint to
the finish began. Peruan pulled away from Risk at the last jump and won
to a standing ovation. "At the beginning of the homestretch I was almost
sure we would beat Risk of Thunder," Matysik said.
In next year's 110th Velka Pardubicka Peruan might try to win for
the third time in a row. Only the legendary Korok, Peruan's grandfather,
has managed that feat.

Winning Coda after Great Trip through Qualification
In the last game of the Euro 2000 qualification, the Czech soccer
team met the Faroe Islands team in Prague October 9. The Czechs were not
struggling to advance - they were assured of that in June. However, they
wanted to win all 10 games of the qualification round, which no one had
managed to do.
In the 11th minute Jan Koller received a deflected ball and scored,
but then the Czech players rested on their laurels. The Faroe Islands'
breaks were dangerous, in particular the quick T. Jonsson was very good
- his shot in the 51st minute hit the Czech crossbar. In the 60th
minute, Patrik Berger and Thorsteinsson were sent off after a scrap. At
the end, the Czech team started playing well again and substitute Pavel
Verbir scored his first goal for the national team and the Czech
Republic won 2-0.

Hockey Extraleague: Slavia and Sparta Sack Their Coaches
The coaches of both Prague teams were fired after the 11th round of
the hockey extraleague. Slavia's Vladimir Caldr was fired October 9
after a bad performance by his team in a game against Ceske Budejovice,
and club management also announced some trades. Caldr was replaced by
former Litvinov coach Josef Beranek. Two players came to Slavia October
11: Vitezslav Skuta from Jyvaskyla (Finland) and Pavel Geffert from
Pilsen (Plzen).
Sparta has not been playing as well as was expected, either. After
a home loss to Kladno 2-4 (its first since 1995), coach Pavel Richter
was replaced by assistent Frantisek Vyborny.
Reigning champion Vsetin lost in Plzen 1-7. Vsetin's new Russian
player Vitaly Karamnov, a former Russian national team member and player
for the NHL's St. Louis Blues, debuted in the game.
Havirov won its first game in the league, and although it was behind
0-2 back in Znojmo it managed to turn the score around to 6-2. Trinec
managed to do the same thing against Plzen - it won 4-3 after a 0-3
deficit, thanks especially to Jozef Dano's hat trick. Zlin has started
a new streak: it has not allowed a goal at home for four games.
Results of the 10th round: Slavia Praha - Ceske Budejovice 2-3,
Plzen - Vsetin 7-1, Zlin - Trinec 3-0, Vitkovice - Pardubice 0-4,
Karlovy Vary - Sparta Praha 4-5, Kladno - Litvinov 1-2, Znojmo - Havirov
3-6.
Results of the 11th round: Vsetin - Znojmo 3-5, Havirov - Karlovy
Vary 6-3, Litvinov - Slavia Praha 3-3, Pardubice - Zlin 1-4, Sparta

SPORTS IN BRIEF
* Patrik Stefan, the first pick of the NHL draft this year, made
a fantastic debut: after scoring two goals, he forced Dominik Hasek, the
best goalkeeper in the world, to head to the bench. The game finished in
a 5-5 tie.
* Only seven seconds remained until the end of the match when Michaela
Vernerova recorded a koka, the smallest point value in judo, but it was
very important. Vernerova, affected by a doping scandal after the
European Championships in March, won the bronze medal and qualified for
the Sydney Olympics. "I will fight for the medal," she said.
* The Czech soccer under-21 team lost to Belgium 1-3 (halftime 0-2) in
the last game of the European Championships and Olympics qualification
October 21 and will meet Greece in its last qualifying-round game.
* Sparta, for the first time without coach Pavel Richter, defeated the
Manchester Storm in the European Hockey League. After a 1-1 tie in
regulation, Sparta won a shoot-out.
* The road cycling World Championships in Verona, Italy, finished with
a total flop by the Czech racers. All three Czechs failed to finish the
race in the elite category.
