FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (October 13 - October 20)
ODS Super-Coalition Proposal Rejected
The Civic Democratic Party's (ODS) idea for a super-coalition of
all parties in Parliament except the Communists was rejected October 19
by the Four-Party Coalition (the Freedom Union, the Christian Democrats,
the Civic Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Union). After
negotiations with ODS and Chamber of Deputies Chairman Vaclav Klaus,
representatives of the Four-Party Coalition announced they would discuss
the super-coalition only if the Opposition Contract between the ruling
Social Democrats and ODS were revoked. Neither party, however, is
intending to withdraw from the contract. "We refuse to act in the farce
directed by ODS and the Social Democrats," said Freedom Union Chairman
Jan Ruml. The Four-Party Coalition also does not want the Communists to
be the only opposition party.
Some reservations about a super-coalition were also expressed by
the Social Democrats. They prefer to continue governing according to the
Opposition Contract, but they say they are ready to negotiate on certain
minor changes.

European Commission Report Very Critical
"Work on the restructuring of industry, reforms in state
administration, the judiciary, state subsidies and the environment are
insufficient and do not correspond to the obligations that the Czech
Republic has made," says a highly critical report from the European
Commission evaluating the Czech Republic's preparations for EU
membership. The report's 100 pages were published October 14 in Prague
The European Commission pointed out the slow tempo of Czech
legislative harmonization to European standards, the insufficient fight
against corruption and the practical halt in privatization and
deregulation. The Cabinet's plan for the revitalization of heavy
industry with state money was also criticized.
The European Commission also brought up the problem of Czech racism
against Romanies - the report cites insufficient efforts against
discrimination, the Romanies' requests for exile in Great Britain and
the building of a wall to separate whites from Romanies in Usti nad
Labem's Maticni Street. Commissar for EU Expansion Gunter Verheugen said
the wall in Maticni Street (see below) is influencing the reputation of
the Czech Republic as a modern and civilized democracy. Chamber of
Deputies Chairman Vaclav Klaus said the Czech Republic is not building
any walls: "It was built by one town hall as a solution to a terribly
difficult interpersonal problem, and if someone wants to make this into
an international incident, I am very disappointed."
Foreign Minister Jan Kavan said he is aware of the unanimously
critical nature of the report, but he stressed that the Czech Republic
still remains in the first wave of candidate countries to join the EU.
He said he considers the report a challenge to work hard.
President Vaclav Havel said the Czech Republic needs a government
that will have confidence, energy and aggressiveness. He said a majority
government could more easily and quickly meet such conditions.

Fence Remains Despite Federal Displeasure
It took only nine hours October 13 to build a wall in Usti nad
Labem's Maticni Street separating four family houses from apartment
buildings for rental delinquents who are almost all Romanies. Claiming
discrimination, the Romanies last week blocked the wall's construction.
This time, though, the Romanies did not take action because police were
guarding the construction work.
The next day, Prime Minister Milos Zeman expressed his wish that
the wall be torn down. The Chamber of Deputies October 13 overturned the
resolution of the Nestemice Council in Usti nad Labem about the
construction of the wall. The chamber's vote is interpreted by some,
such as Government Envoy for Human Rights Petr Uhl, to prove the
illegality of the wall, while others, such as Usti nad Labem Mayor
Ladislav Hruska, say the Chamber of Deputies' decision has no bearing on
the wall because there was no need for a local council resolution to
begin construction.

Irish President Mary McAleese Visits the Czech Republic
Irish President Mary McAleese arrived October 18 for a three-day
visit to the Czech Republic, her first, with the goal of strengthening
Czech-Irish relations.
McAleese met Czech President Vaclav Havel October 19 and discussed
Irish support for EU expansion eastward. Ireland joined the EU at the
beginning of the 70's as a relatively poor country, yet thanks to
exemplary economic reforms it has today the fastest-growing economy
among EU countries. The presidents also discussed the situation in
Northern Ireland, with McAleese saying she believes one day Ireland will
be united. Havel emphasized the common Celtic roots of the Czechs and
the Irish. The Irish president was accompanied by Chamber of Deputies
Chairman Vaclav Klaus on a visit to to the Chamber.
McAleese October 20 visited the UN peacekeeping forces base in
Cesky Krumlov, had lunch with Justice Minister Otakar Motejl and visited
the town. On the last day of her visit, October 21, McAleese was to
receive the Charles University Memorial Medal and have a discussion with
students. After lunch with Prime Minister Milos Zeman, McAleese should
return to Ireland.

Interior Ministers Discuss EU Integration
The main subjects of the meeting of the interior ministers of the
Visegrad Four (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary) and
Austria in Zidlochovice October 15 were illegal immigration and how to
stop it. The problem of immigration was discussed in connection with the
planned accession of the Visegrad countries to the EU. All applicants
will have to initiate visa requirements for Romania and countries
belonging to the former Soviet Union before they enter the EU.
Czech Interior Minister Vaclav Grulich and his Slovak counterpart
Ladislav Pittner agreed to strengthen security on their eastern borders.
If Grulich receives the finances promised him by the recently rejected
budget (see below), border security will by the end of next year
correspond to the requirements of the EU's Schengen Agreement.

Czech Airlines Marked Romanies on London Passenger Lists
Last week it was revealed that Czech Airlines (CSA) had for some
18 months been marking on passenger lists of flights to London all those
who looked like Romanies. When the first larger waves of Romany
applicants for exile in Britain began about a year and a half ago, the
London manager of CSA requested that all possible Romanies be marked on
the passenger lists with a "G" for Gypsy. CSA said the marking was an
internal measure and all airlines mark passengers according to various
criteria. CSA says it is planning to apologize to the Romanies. The
speaker of the International Air Traffic Association (IATA) said it had
never encountered anything similar.

Jean-Marie Le Pen Visits the Czech Republic
Jean-Marie Le Pen, chairman of the National Front (a French
nationalist party) arrived in Prague October 14 as the guest of Miroslav
Sladek, chairman of the neo-fascist Republican Party (SPR-RSC). Le Pen
was greeted at the airport by a small group of SPR-RSC members and
several dozen protesters, among them students of the French-Czech
bi-lingual Jan Neruda Lycee.
"Nationalists of all countries, unite," said Le Pen at his press
conference in Prague's Ruzyne Airport, where he tried to promote his
idea of Euronat - the international association of European nationalist
parties, which he considers to be an alternative to the European Union.
Le Pen's stay in the Czech Republic was accompanied by several
demonstrations, organized mainly by young people and students.

Owner of TV Nova License Will Not Change
The Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting did not approve
a capital increase for TV NOVA license-holder CET 21 October 19. The
council claimed the capital increase, voted on at the CET 21 September
general meeting, would result in the transfer of ownership of the
license.
CET 21 is now 60-pe-cent owned by Vladimir Zelezny, who did not
participate in the capital increase, meaning a majority in CET 21
resulting from the new shares issued through the capital increase would
belong to MEF Media, CET 21's partner for the financing of its new
service company, Czech Production (Ceska produkcni), and to Edikon,
a company established by TV NOVA employees close to Zelezny.
The council said it would have not objected to the capital increase
if the basic shareholder structure of CET 21 would remain constant. CET
21 said it respects the council's decision.

NEWS IN BRIEF
* The Constitutional Court decided that all political parties have
the right to state matching funds after elections. Until now only
parties who received more than 3 per cent of the vote were able to get
the funds. In connection with the decision, the Chamber of Deputies has
postponed discussion on the party-financing bill until the court
publishes the official decision.
* According to Sofres-Factum Agency polls, Senator Vaclav Fischer is
the person most beneficial to the Czech Republic. Petra Buzkova and
Stanislav Gross of the ruling Social Democrats, who have occupied the
top of the list since June 1998, finished behind Fischer. According to
sociologists, Fischer enchanted the public with his new political style
and fair behavior. Fischer, owner of the country's largest travel
agency, said people appreciated his earlier honest work. The person most
injurious to the country was, according to the poll, neo-fascist
Republican Party boss Miroslav Sladek, followed by first lady Dagmar
Havlova and Miroslav Grebenicek, chairman of the Communist Party.
* Fishing and game wardens and forest rangers will have almost the
same authorities as policemen. The decision of the Chamber of Deputies,
which overruled the Senate's veto, will be effective from January. As
public officials, these individuals will be able to impose fine or file
criminal complaints. Organizations of wardens and rangers, until now
powerless against poachers, welcomed the decision, which was criticized
by Justice Minister Otakar Motejl. According to the law, the officials
cannot be prosecuted for misusing their authority.

Kidnapped Czech UN Observer Released
A group of terrorists October 13 launched an attack on a helicopter
transporting five UN observers and their two local guides to Suchumi,
the capital of Abkhazia. While the pilots managed to escape, all seven
UN representatives were taken hostage, among them a Czech citizen, Major
Petr Pokovba.
The kidnappers asked for 200,000 USD in ransom to releasing the
hostages, and threatened to kill them one by one. UN authorities refused
to pay the ransom, knowing that if they would yield to blackmail, more
kidnappings could follow. They started negotiating, which led to the
release of four hostages. Besides Pokovba, a German, a Greek,
a Uruguayan and a Swiss observer were set free October 14. The
conditions for the release of three remaining hostages - a Greek,
a Swede and a Russian translator - are still being negotiated.

Unofficial Visegrad Summit in the High Tatras
The political leaders of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and
Slovakia - Milos Zeman, Viktor Orban, Jerzy Buzek and Mikulas Dzurinda,
respectively - met in Javorina October 15 at a two-day, unofficial
summit of the Visegrad Four called No Suits. Cooperation between the
countries began in 1991 (when Czechoslovakia still existed) in Visegrad,
Hungary.
The meeting followed official talks held in Bratislava in May. This
time, the leaders agreed to create a fund to support joint research,
education, cultural and sports projects.
Visa policies were also discussed, particularly the possibility of
imposing visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens. The summit failed to
achieve an agreement, because Poland and Hungary voted against visa
requirements.
The leaders agreed to found a joint institution to battle
international organized crime and economic crime. Czech Prime Minister
Zeman asked for support in investigating the affair of light heating
oils, which involves billions of crowns of untaxed income.
The summit also discussed the integration of the countries into the
EU and the European Commission's reports on the readiness of EU
candidate countries.

Slovakia Gets Hope from EU
The annual report from the European Commission was a disappointment
for the Czech Republic, but Slovakia has been in a good mood since the
report's publication. The commission particularly praised progress in
the area od democratic rights.
Slovakia itself claims with optimism that 90 per cent of the
conditions necessary to join the EU have been met, and now the
Government is going to give all its energies toward fulfilling the
remaining 10 per cent. Those matters include social issues (the
situation of the Romany minority), economic issues (unfinished
restructuring, bank privatization) and judicial ones (corruption and the
insufficient fight against organized crime). Official sources also say
the report arrived at the right time, because after one year in office
the Cabinet of Premier Mikulas Dzurinda was encountering some not
insignificant problems.
Thanks to the efforts of the Government, Slovakia now might be
invited for official talks on membership as soon as next year, despite
Slovakia having always been part of the second group of potential EU
members. A similar satisfaction from the annual commission reports was
shown by Lithuania, Malta, Latvia, Bulgaria and Romania. Slovakia,
however, received the most positive evaluation.
The EU has also changed its negotiating procedure: talks will be
held with those countries ready for membership, regardless of whether
the country had been in the first or second group.

Slovakia Ends Candidacy for UN Security Council in Favor of Ukraine
The UN General Assembly's October 14 vote on a non-permanent member
of the Security Council from Eastern Europe turned into a struggle
between two candidates - Slovakia and Ukraine. In the third round of
voting, Slovakia gave up its candidacy.
A two-thirds majority of 114 votes was necessary for election; in
the first round, Ukraine got 92 votes and Slovakia 79. Foreign Minister
Eduard Kukan said he remained optimistic, but knew a difference of 13
votes was considerable. The second round of voting was not decisive.
After repeated votes, the chairperson of the assembly can propose the
matter be decided by a simple majority, which then would have to be
approved by a two-thirds majority. Then Slovakia, represented by Kukan,
gave up its candidacy in favor of Ukraine. Ukraine's membership will
begin January 1, together with Bahrain, Brazil, Gabon and Gambia.

Change at Economy Ministry
Slovak Economy Minister Ludovit Cernak resigned October 19. Premier
Mikulas Dzirinda immediately nominated Lubomir Harach, chairman of the
Democratic Union and a member of the National Assembly, to replace
Cernak. The suggestion was made on the basis of an agreement by the
parties of the governing coalition. President Rudolf Schuster should
officially name Harach the new minister October 21.
The Democratic Union said it stopped supporting Cernak as minister
to in the public interest. The opposition had for some time criticized
Cernak's moves, but a proposal to take a confidence vote on Cernak was
rejected by the National Assembly at the end of September. Coalition
party members also criticized Cernak, particularly in connection with
the Nafta Gbely case.
After former Transportation Minister Gabriel Palacka, Cernak is the
second minister of Dzurinda's Goverment to leave.

ECONOMY
Chamber of Deputies Rejects Government's 2000 Budget Proposal
Parliament's Chamber of Deputies October 20 rejected the
Government's proposed 2000 budget with its deficit of 39.8 billion
crowns. Besides the ruling Social Democrats, the budget proposal was
supported by the Communists, but together the two mustered only 96 votes
in the 200-seat chamber. Finance Minister Pavel Mertlik now has 30 days
to adjust the budget according to the chamber's comments.
The Civic Democratic Party (ODS), the Freedom Union and the
Christian Democrats requested the Government not include proceeds from
privatization as income. The latter two parties also criticized the
Cabinet for not reforming the structure of the budget in favor of
greater transparency, and for not preparing legislation to regulate the
construction of the budget.
The Budget Committee proposed reducing the planned deficit and not
using privatization proceeds (expected to be about 13 billion crowns)
for transportation and housing funds.

Transglobal Underground in Prague Again
London dance-scene headliners Transglobal Underground played for
the third time in Prague October 13 at the Roxy. The group, best known
for its synthesis of modern electronic dance music with ethnic elements,
this time performed without its star, Egyptian singer Natacha Atlas. The
four members of the band took turns as DJ behind the turntables and kept
about 500 concertgoers dancing until the early hours of the morning.
Transglobal Underground played for the first time in Prague in the
summer of 1998 as the closing act on the first of the two nights of the
momentous Jeleni prikop dance music festival under the Prague Castle.
Their second concert was in November as the opening band for Jimmy Page
and Robert Plant. Transglobal Underground's recently released second
album is entitled Rejoice Rejoice.

Hudba Praha in Akropolis
Although the Czech musical group Hudba Praha is now but a former
legend of the Czech underground, they played once more together in the
Prague's Akropolis Palace in honor of bassist Jan Ivan Wunsch, who died
June 1. In recent years, Wunsch was an editor at the music magazine Rock
& Pop. He left unfinished his series of articles on the history of Czech
popular music in the 70's and 80's.

Comebacks Entertain Hockey Extraleague
Two Czech Olympics champions, Robert Reichel and David Moravec,
came back home from the NHL. Reichel failed to sign the contract he
wanted (he was demanding 3.5 million dollars per year) or to be traded
during negotiations with his former Phoenix Coyotes, while Moravec was
sent to the Buffalo Sabres' farm team, and so both decided to play in
the Czech league again this season.
Litvinov had taken advantage of Reichel's presence at the beginning
of the season and now, after Reichel's comeback, Litvinov has won twice.
Moravec lost his place in Buffalo after Slovakia's Miroslav Satan
signed. "I was waiting for four days to see what would happen with me.
In the end the general manager called me and said it just wouldn't
work," said Moravec said after his return to Vitkovice.
Despite the stars' comebacks, the Pilsen (Plzen) express chugs on.
After three stright wins it returned to the top of the league. League
rookie Znojmo has not earned a point since its win in Vsetin and fell to
13th place, leaving only Havirov behind.
Slavia won this year's first Prague intracity derby against Sparta
after captain Vladimir Ruzicka scored a hat trick.

SPORTS IN BRIEF
* Slovnaft Vsetin lost to Austria's Villach 3-4 in a shootout in
a European Hockey League game and is in last place in its group.
WEATHER
It was snowing in Jesenik, among the highest mountains of Moravia,
and last weekend there were even meter-long icicles. Still, there is no
need for us, the people of the lowlands, to put on hats and gloves, hope
yet remains for some final warm weather. Temperatures in the day might
rise to 10 degrees Celsius or a maximum of 15 degrees Celsius/50 degrees
Fahrenheit or to a maximum of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. But remember, the
weather is unpredictable and rain could fall at any time (because it's
cloudy all day!).
