FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (October 20 - October 27)
IVVM: Communist Are Strongest Party
Ten years after the fall of the communist regime, the Communist
Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM) became the political party with the
highest voter preference in the Czech Republic. According to a survey
taken by the Institute for Public Opinion Research (IVVM), the
Communists would win an election today with 23 per cent of the vote,
leaving the previous poll-leaders, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS),
with 21 per cent and the ruling Social Democrats with 15.5 per cent
behind.
The Communists' preferences have doubled this year and have been
strengthening over the long term, IVVM analysts say. Support for parties
not now in Parliament is also on the rise, chiefly for the neo-fascist
Republicans of Miroslav Sladek and for the Green party.
Polls taken by competing agencies STEM and Sofres-Factum still put
the Communists in second place after ODS.
Politicians were surprised by the poll. "I don't believe it's true.
It doesn't make sense to me, I don't see every fourth person in the
Czech Republic preferring the Communists," said Vaclav Klaus, chairman
of ODS and the Chamber of Deputies.
"The right-wing parties totally failed, professionally and
personally, and unfortunately it turned out that the Social Democrats
couldn't manage the situation," stated Miroslav Grebenicek, chairman of
the Communists.
Experts say the preferences for the Communists are more
a reflection of dissatisfaction than a real change in society. Now it is
said to be important how other parties react to the development.
Foreign media also reported the poll results. The German daily Die
Welt attributed the Communists' showing to the fact that the Government
is not fulfilling the promises it made before the election and that the
democratic parties are incapable of cooperation.

Fruitless Discussions on Changes in Government
No dramatic changes have occurred in the two weeks since the Civic
Democratic Party (ODS), the opposition side of the Opposition Contract
allowing the Social Democrats (CSSD) to rule, initiated discussions on
changing the Cabinet (see Carolina 347). During this week, however, some
movement resulted from the Chamber of Deputies' rejection of the
Government's 2000 budget proposal (see below). Finance Minister Pavel
Mertlik described the rejection as "an escalation of political
tension...a bad signal to the outside world."
The ODS proposal for a super-coalition of all parties in Parliament
except the Communists (see Carolina 348) was first rejected October 19
by the Four-Party Coalition (the Freedom Union, the Christian Democrats,
the Civic Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Union), followed by the
same reaction from the Social Democrats. They deny ODS claims of
deepening economic stagnation, and do not wish to change the Government.
On the contrary, at an October 14 extraordinary meeting the Social
Democrat leadership proposed expanding the Opposition Contract. "The
Opposition Contract can be changed only into a coalition contract," said
ODS Chairman Vaclav Klaus. According to ODS Parliament club Chairman
Vlastimil Tlusty, ODS has ruled out the possibility of forming an
ODS-CSSD coalition.
For the first time in two years (since the split in ODS and the
formation of the Freedom Union), Klaus and Freedom Union Chairman Jan
Ruml met October 15. "We want to say seriously that a new level of
communication has been inaugurated," said Klaus. However, the chairmen
agreed neither on a super-coalition nor a non-socialist majority
coalition of ODS, the Freedom Union and the Christian Democrats. ODS and
the Social Democrats categorically refuse to discuss early elections.

Academic Senate Elects 506th Charles University Rector
From February 2000, the oldest Czech university will be led by Ivan
Wilhelm, born in 1942, who was elected October 22 by the Academic Senate
of Charles University. His victory was a surprise, since it was not
believed that a new rector could be settled upon on the first ballot.
Thirty-five votes out of 68 favored Wilhelm over Josef Koutecky, born in
1930 and former dean of the Second Medical College and founder of child
oncology, and Pavel Klener, born in 1937 and former health minister
(1989-90) and functionary at the First Medical College.
Wilhelm's platform emphasized more student and teacher exchanges,
unification of the credit system and greater variety during
undergraduate studies. He also unveiled plans to fight the recent
scandal involving the sale of entrance examinations to the Law School.
Wilhelm, born in Trnava, Slovakia, studied at the Czechoslovak
Technical University (CVUT) and shortly after his graduation in 1961
began his career as an assistant in the nuclear physics department. In
1967, he left for a study stay in Dubai in the then-Soviet Union.

Winton and His Children in Prague
Nicholas Winton, an Englishman who saved 669 mostly Jewish children
in 1939, visited Prague to mark the premiere of Matej Minac's new film
All My Loved Ones (Vsichni moji blizci) October 21.
There were specialized organizations in central Europe in 1938
transporting endangered people to safe places: most of the people were
Jews, communists or political dissidents. But safe countries placed
strict immigration limits and England was the only country to accept
unlimited numbers of refugees under 18. Winton, after being asked, was
helping with the organization of children's transports
(kindertransports). He was organizing permits and searching for parents
or groups willing to take in the children. The first children's
transport left for England June 30, 1939, but the last transport of
September 1, 1939 failed to depart because war had begun. Winton could
no longer help children, but he joined the Red Cross and enlisted in the
RAF in 1942.
The world found out about his heroic deed in 1988 when Winton's
wife found several documents about the transports and letters from the
parents of evacuated children in their house. She gave these materials
to the BBC, which organized a meeting of Winton and "his children," who
came to London from throughout the world. "It was an incredible feeling
to sit next to the man who saved your life," said writer Vera Gissing,
who left on the first transport.
Winton visited the Czech Republic last year and was presented the
T.G. Masaryk Medal by President Vaclav Havel.

Charles University Medal for Irish President
Irish President Mary McAleese ended her first official visit to the
Czech Republic October 21 (see Carolina 348).
In the morning she had breakfast with Czech entrepreneurs. She said
it was important not to be afraid to open the domestic market and to
attract foreign investors with lower taxes.
In the Patriot Hall in the Carolinum, McAleese received the Charles
University Memorial Medal from Vice Rector Pavel Klener. In her speech
she pointed to the need of "bridge-building" not only among European
universities, but also among individuals.
During her lunch with Prime Minister Milos Zeman, McAleese said she
would do anything to help speed the accession of the Czech Republic to
the EU, because it would improve Czech-Irish relations.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* Helena Rognerova, director of Prague's Faculty Hospital in Motol,
filed a criminal complaint against Health Minister Ivan David, who, she
alleges, is blackmailing and manipulating her. David responded with
a criminal complaint against Rognerova. The cause of the conflict is the
company providing food services to the hospital. David calls it improper
that the hospital would own the company and still pay it for its
services. Rognerova says the ministry manipulated the new public tender
and the minister himself forced her to sign the result of the tender.
* The wave of Czech Romany refugees to Britain is receding. In
September 195 Romany families requested asylum, a 25-per-cent decline
from the previous month. The British Home Office released the data
October 25.
* The Czech Independent Television Company (CNTS), American-owned
former exclusive service provider for TV NOVA, fired effective January
31 editors of the so-called emergency team, including one of the most
popular anchor teams, Eva Jurinova and Zbynek Merunka.
* Five deputies from Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the ruling Social
Democrats and the Freedom Union proposed amendments to the Criminal Code
strengthening the prosecution of expressions of fascist and communist
ideology. According to the proposal, people publicly instigating class
or religious hate would face up to two years in prison.
* Three people have filed lawsuits against a Romany woman from
Maticni Street in Usti nad Labem who insulted non-Romany citizens in
a television interview.

FROM SLOVAKIA
State Medal for Chinese Ambassador
Slovak President Rudolf Schuster decorated outgoing Chinese
ambassador to Slovakia Tao Miao Fa with the Order of the White Cross
October 21 in Bratislava. Fa said, "This is one of the greatest days in
my life. The medal to me means an expression of the eternally good
relations between the Slovak and Chinese people."
Unlike in the Czech Republic, where the proposal by Trade Minister
Miroslav Gregr to decorate the Chinese ambassador to Prague caused
a wave of repulsion, there were no significant protests in Slovakia.
Foreign Ministry official Jozef Chlebo said China is an important
country and awarding a medal to the ambassador is not just a question of
the preservation of democratic rights.

National Property Fund Management Ousted
Premier Mikulas Dzurinda succeeded October 20, after more than
three months of battles, to get the National Assembly to recall Ludovit
Kanik and Ladislav Sklenar, respectively the president and vice
president of the National Property Fund (FNM).
Dzurinda presented the Nafta Gbely scandal as the main reason for
their dismissal. FNM management allegedly enabled Vladimir Poor, an
entrepreneur and former high-ranking official in former Premier Vladimir
Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS), to sell Arad, the
controlling owner of Nafta Gbely, to another company. In reality,
however, the sale was not realized and the shares of Nafta Gbely remain
in the hands of the FNM.

ECONOMY
Metallurgical Consortium Created
With Prime Minister Milos Zeman looking on, the Czech Republic's
three most important metallurgical companies - Nova Hut, Vitkovice and
the Trinec Ironworks - signed an agreement October 25 to form
a consortium. The assets of the consortium should be worth about 30
billion crowns with annual sales of 75 billion crowns, according to
estimates in the daily Hospodarske noviny. The intention of the
consortium will be to coordinate technology, production, strategy and
purchasing effectively. Purchasing larger quantities of raw materials
and limiting duplicate production should bring greater profits and
eliminate mutual competition. Analysts praised the move from an economic
standpoint and as a positive signal to the EU, which sets demanding
conditions for metallurgical concerns.
Lubos Kratochvil/Michael Bluhm
Positive September Czech Trade Balance
"The best result since April 1994," claims a report from the Czech
Statistics Office about the billion-crown surplus in the September trade
balance of the Czech Republic. Exports rose 11 per cent and imports 9.8
per cent over the past 12 months. September exports of 83.7 billion
crowns are the second-highest in Czech history, trailing only June's
total.
Exports have been rising in crowns and in deutschmarks, and experts
also praise the territorial and goods structures of export: exports to
the EU are increasing (they now comprise 65 per cent of all export),
particularly to Germany, and for the year the Czech Republic has
a trading surplus of about 9 billion crowns with all EU countries. Czech
companies are also exporting more goods with a higher added value. The
greatest export growth is in automobiles, other means of transportation
and industrial consumer goods (up 11 per cent since September 1998).
Other signals of economic revival are the halt in the rise of the
unemployment rate and the increase in foreign investment - foreign
investment in the Czech Republic came to 2.5 billion USD for the first
seven months of 1999.

National Gallery Buys Waldes Collection
National Gallery General Director Milan Knizak October 20 signed
a purchase contract with Jiri Waldes, heir of the valuable Waldes
collection. The state will pay 102 million crowns for the collection,
which, for example, contains some 20 works by Frantisek Kupka. The
transaction took place at the last minute, because the next day the
National Gallery would have lost its exclusive right to buy the
collection.
The original owner, Jindrich Waldes, lost the collection twice. It
was first confiscated by the Gestapo and then by the later Czechoslovak
communist regime. All the paintings were given back to the family after
a 1996 court decision. The transaction occurred greatly thanks to
Culture Minister Pavel Dostal, who was the first minister willing to
negotiate the purchase, and to the Government, which quickly freed 100
million crowns for the purchase.

Czech Film Returns to Holocaust
All My Loved Ones, the new Czech-Slovak-Polish film, is the debut
of Slovak director Matej Minac. The script was written by experienced
playwright Jiri Hubac, the cast includes Josef Abrham, Jiri Bartoska and
Libuse Safrankova - and the movie is not about Nicholas Winton (see
above). His deed served the authors as a background theme for a serious
drama about an ordinary family.
The fictitious Jewish Silberstein family believed for a long time
that in the 20th century the word genocide was only a historical relict.
The occupation of Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939 caught them
absolutely unprepared for the future. Only sudden clashes with the
occupying forces made them fully aware of what was happening. It was too
late to save the whole family and only little David, thanks to Winton's
decisiveness, left on the last transport for Great Britain.
Winton, played by British actor Rupert Graves, is not the central
character and enters the film near its conclusion. The film deals with
the motives that led parents to accept the departure of their children
and the dilemma of whether to let them go and save them, even if it
meant maybe never seeing them again, or to risk an uncertain future in
the protectorate. The story does not end optimistically by emphasising
the fact that 669 children were saved by Winton, but reminds viewers
that the next transport could not depart from Prague because of the
outbreak of World War II. The film tries to ease the tragic aspect of
the story by closing with the BBC documentary sequence showing the
reunion of Winton and "his children" after nearly 50 years from their
first, fleeting encounter at Woodrow Wilson Station in Prague.

Ephraim Kishon Visits Prague
The premiere of Israeli playwright Ephraim Kishon's The Marriage
Certificate took place October 24 in Prague's Rokoko Theater with the
author in attendance.
The absurdist play is about the foibles of a modern Israeli family
when a daughter decides to marry. Her parents cannot find their marriage
certificate, which is necessary for their daughter's marriage.
Uncertainty begins to creep into the family, and their situation
absurdly unravels. The play is directed by Ondrej Zajic, while Jan
Vlasak, Tatjana Medvecka and Marika Prochazkova perform in the main
roles.

Sparta Advances to Champions League's Second Phase after Tie in Bordeaux
Thanks to Tilburg's tie in Moscow, Sparta knew before its game
against Bordeaux October 26 that a draw would be enough to advance to
the Champions League second phase. Its strategy thus was not to allow
a goal, and, after a scoreless tie, the team moved on.
Sparta had to fight off a number of Bordeaux attacks. Sylvain
Wiltord had an especially good chance to score after Jean-Christophe
Rouviere's pass, but goalkeeper Tomas Postulka managed to divert the
ball away from the goal. Postulka's confidence helped Sparta several
more times, especially after a risky pass by Jiri Novotny and a near
own-goal by Martin Hasek.

Sparta back from the Dead against Tilburg
In its fourth game in the Champions League, Sparta defeated Tilburg
4-3 October 20 (also included in Carolina 348 after deadline). Sparta
was down 0-2 after Mariano Bombarda's header in the 30th second and
Dmitri Shoukov's goal in the fifth minute. The Czech team began to play
more aggressively and scored before halftime as Jiri Novotny's header
was successful after Vladimir Labant's corner kick.
However, Mark Schenning's beautiful shot from a free kick quieted
Sparta's new confidence. The game's turnaround began in the 54th minute,
when Tomas Galasek, a Czech playing for Tilburg, fouled Libor Sionko and
Labant converted the penalty kick. In the 62nd minute Miroslav Baranek
tied the game at 3-3 and at the end of the game referee Oguz Sarvan from
Turkey ordered another penalty kick and Labant's second goal gave Sparta
all three points.

UEFA Cup: Slavia Prague Beats Grasshoppers Zurich 3:1 (Halftime 2:1)
Slavia's manager Frantisek Cipro looked more like the looser than
the winner at the end of the first match of the UEFA's Cup second round.
"No, I am happy that we won," he assured all those present at the press
conference and smiled a bit after all. Slavia beat Grasshoppers Zurich
on home ground but the coach was worried about the received goal .
"There's a lot to pay them back, and as regards this evening's match
I thought we would do a bit better. I'd rather win 2:0."
The cup's draw was filled with irony, sending Grasshoppers into
Slavia's path in the second round. It was the team from Zurich that
stopped Slavia on its way to the Champion's League three years ago by
beating Slavia 5:0 and 1:0 - one of the worst defeats in the club's
history.
No trauma was apparent when Pavel Horvath ideally found Ivo Ulich,
who was speeding upfield and whose accurately aimed shot opened the
scoring. The joy did not last long, because after a corner kick the
Grasshoppers' Hakan Yakin sent the ball just under the bar and tied the
score.
Tomas Kuchar literally blasted onto the pitch straight from the
bench and shortly thereafter snatched the lead for his team. His shot
bounced just in front of the Swiss goalkeeper and hit the net - 2:1.
Zurich's defense couldn't stand up to the high-speed combination of
their opponents. In the 51st minute the Swiss defense cracked under
pressure as Horvath tipped the ball to Ulich, whose blistering shot from
the box resulted in the final margin - 3:1.
Slavia's chances in the away match are still quite high. "We have
nothing to celebrate yet. The result is good but anything can happen,"
said Ulich.

UEFA Cup: Teplice Loses at Home to Mallorca
Teplice's chances to advance to the third round of the UEFA Cup
were lowered from 30 per cent to 15 per cent, said coach Josef Pesice.
Teplice lost to Mallorca in the first game 1-2 (0-2 at the half).
Both goals by the opponent were scored by Diego Tristan. First he
scored in the 28th minute with a precise header, four minutes later his
shot was deflected by defender Miroslav Rada past goalkeeper Libor
Machacek. Pavel Verbir lowered the deficit in the 68th minute and
Teplice shut down Mallorca, but another nice shot by Verbir bounced off
the post.

Soccer League: Goalkeeper Cerny Scores
The top Czech soccer league moved to the 11th round with
second-place Sparta wining in Liberec thanks to an extra-time goal by
Milan Fukal. First-place Slavia defeated another northern Bohemian team,
Jablonec, more easily 4-0. Lukas Dosek and goalkeeper Radek Cerny, on
a penalty shot, scored their first goals for Slavia. Slavia remained
three points ahead of Sparta. Hradec Kralove left last place after
a 1-0 win over Ceske Budejovice.
Results of the 11th round of the soccer league: Liberec - Sparta
Praha 1-2, Hradec Kralove - Ceske Budejovice 1-0, Ostrava - Brno 1-0,
Bohemians Praha - Pribram 2-0, Olomouc - Opava 2-1, Drnovice - Zizkov

Hockey Extraleague: Coach Chalupa Sacked
The management of the Pardubice hockey club fired coach Milan
Chalupa after a losing streak during which Pardubice failed to earn
a point in five consecutive games. Club sports director Josef Palecek,
who replaced Chalupa, will try to stop the streak.
Illness affecting the majority of Trinec's players affected the
schedule of the 15th and 16th rounds of the extraleague. Trinec had to
postpone games against Sparta and in Havirov. Sparta and Havirov thus
preplayed their game of the 20th round.
Vsetin found another new player: Belarussia's Oleg Antonenko played
quite well in the game against Vitkovice (particularly considering his
three-day train trip to the Czech Republic).
In other news, Litvinov has not lost in seven games, and Zlin
goalkeeper Vladimir Hudacek recorded his fifth shutout this year at home
against Havirov.
Results of the 15th round: Ceske Budejovice - Plzen 1-1, Pardubice
- Litvinov 1-2, Kladno - Karlovy Vary 2-1, Slavia Praha - Znojmo 1-4,
Zlin - Havirov 4-0, Vitkovice - Vsetin 1-1.
Results of the 16th round: Vsetin - Zlin 3-3, Plzen - Kladno 6-3,
Litvinov - Ceske Budejovice 2-1, Karlovy Vary - Slavia Praha 1-1, Znojmo
- Vitkovice 2-2.
Preplayed game of the 20th round: Havirov - Sparta 3-5.
Standings: 1. Plzen 25, 2. Zlin 22, 3. Vsetin 21, 4. Litvinov 19,
5. Sparta Praha 18, 6. Ceske Budejovice 17, 7. Trinec 15, 8. Vitkovice
