FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (November 27 - December 4) Havel Recuperating after Operation Czech President Vaclav Havel underwent a lung operation December 2 at the General Faculty Hospital in Prague. Surgeons removed a half-inch/15-millimeter-long malignant tumor and half his right lung. Head surgeon Pavel Pafko said that three-and-a-half-hour operation was completed without complications and the tumor was caught in an early phase. "Whether the tumor will not spread any further, I can not say 100 per cent, but I think not," he told Czech daily MF DNES. Experts say when a lung tumor is caught in time and successfully removed, chances for complete recovery are at least 90 per cent. Presidential spokesman Ladislav Spacek said the president's current physical and psychological state is good and Havel spent his first post-operation day without problems. After deadline: Havel remains in the intensive care unit and is receiving antibiotics for a minor infection in his left lung. Denisa Vitkova/Andrea Snyder Church Gives Up Saint Vitus' Cathedral Cardinal Miloslav Vlk announced November 27 that the Catholic Church is renouncing claims on Saint Vitus' Cathedral in the Prague Castle. The church's only condition is that they can continue to use the cathedral. President Vaclav Havel, Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus and the public welcomed the decision. Church representatives, however, are documented in Czech newspapers as seeing agreement terms warily. "The church realizes that in a way the entire nation helped build the cathedral," said Vlk to Czech daily Denni telegraf. He was quoted in daily MF DNES as saying "the cathedral had connected and united the nation" and in daily Lidove noviny that the "whole game concerning the cathedral is undignified for both parties and the cathedral itself." Thus he explained why the church plans on withdrawing their claims as soon as possible. The legal battle over the the cathedral's ownership started in 1992, when the city's diocese accused the Office of the President of the Czech Republic of giving Saint Vitus' Cathedral to the Catholic Church. The Prague Castle administration appealed, the city court stopped proceedings, and the case returned to district court. The new cathedral statute may be amended by a special law. Prime Minister Klaus has prepared a group of 30 experts, which will analyze possibilities of the state taking over the cathedral's ownership. Saint Vitus' Cathedral's blackened towers rise from the the Prague Castle's panoramic view. It is one of the largest of Prague's cathedrals and the resting place of kings and crown jewels. The foundation stone of the Gothic cathedral was laid in 1344, though the majority of construction was done in this century, ending in 1929. Jana Wiesnerova/Andrea Snyder "Satisfactory " Report about Condition of Czech Population Six million people throughout the world have died from AIDS, the illness regarded as the plague of the 21st century by some specialists. Each day about 8,500 people are infected by the HIV virus. In comparison to these alarming numbers, the present state in the Czech Republic can seem surprisingly good. By October 31, 290 cases of the HIV virus (250 men and 40 women) were reported; 84 others already suffer from AIDS. However, the number of infected people is at least five times higher as estimated. The State Health Institute has recorded 59 deaths due to HIV infection. November 1 was proclaimed World AIDS Day for the ninth time. The Czech Republic will not escape from this danger. Activities of local non-governmental organizations aimed at prevention and the fight against AIDS culminated during the last days of November. The Praha cinema presented a festival of films about AIDS and a benefit concert in Prague's Lucerna Palace closed the Week of the Fight Against AIDS December 1 with many top stars of Czech popular music performing. Lenka Javurkova/Mirek Langer Discussions Continue on Senate Chairmanship The only known candidates for the office of Senate chairman remain Irena Ondrova (Civic Democratic Party - ODS) and Petr Pithart (nominated by the Christian Democrats - KDU-CSL). The situation has not changed since the November 30 meeting of the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) Executive Council in Chrudim. The party announced only that it wants a candidate acceptable to all three coalition parties. Most ODA senators, however, are leaning towards nominating Michael Zantovsky. KDU-CSL and ODS also want the coalition to agree on a single candidate, but they are each trying to promote their own nominees. At its initial meeting on November 28, the ODS Senate Club confirmed the nomination of Irena Ondrova, which had been made public by ODS Chairman and Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus November 26. Ondrova, however, does not believe she will be elected, as she expects the other parties to move against the ODS. KDU-CSL has already made it known, that it will not support Ondrova and that it will officially nominate Pithart if at least one other coalition party expresses support for him. Any KDU-CSL candidate can count on the support of the 25 Social Democrat senators, according to Social Democrat Chairman Milos Zeman. President Vaclav Havel has also commented on the possible chairmanship of Pithart. "I consider him to be a very thoughtful, contemplative, learned consensus-maker who always searches for ways to reach agreement." Havel also stressed that the choice of Senate chairman is a matter for the members of that chamber. Bohdana Rambouskova/Andy Faust Coalition Divided on Budget Issue The Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) has made the precondition of its approval of the 1997 state budget the deregulation of apartment rents, electricity and gas prices. The three-hour coalition negotiation December 3 brought no agreement on this issue. ODA Chairman Jan Kalvoda insists on the liberalization of gas and electricity prices in 1999, and on deregulation of rents around the year 2000. Kalvoda referred to the fact that price deregulation is a part of the program statement of the government. The Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) rejected the linkage of these demands with the vote on the state budget in Parliament. Those two coalition parties are ready to discuss a faster pace for price deregulation with ODA, but only in negotiations concerning those particular issues. ODS called the ODA's stance irresponsible in a situation where the coalition needs its every vote in Parliament. The ODS Parliamentary Club also announced that it will support another half-billion crowns for the army. This proposal will likely be opposed by the Social Democrats, who favor decreasing the Defense Ministry's budget in favor of the Education Ministry. Vit Bartek/Milan Smid Vladimir Stehlik Hands Poldi Steel Stock Over to Minister Ruml Vladimir Stehlik, the director of Poldi Steel in prison since last week (see Carolina 225), handed over Poldi Steel stock valued at 8.5 billion crowns to Interior Minister Jan Ruml December 2. In his accompanying letter, dated November 22, Stehlik stated he was giving the stock into state care and thus wanted to show he would not manipulate the company's property. Ruml appreciated Poldi Steel director's trust, although he said the shares do not belong with him, and therefore he will discuss the issue with Trade Minister Vladimir Dlouhy and National Property Fund (FNM) Chairman Roman Ceska. The stocks, placed in a sealed room in the Interior Ministry building, are, according to the company's statute, documentary shares, which means the person holding them is their owner. However, this fact does not change the situation of Stehlik, who remains the owner of the Poldi Kladno steelworks, said Ceska after December 3 meeting Ruml and Dlouhy. Batyrbek Gaparov/Denisa Vitkova Free Democrats Elect New Chairman Tomas Sokol, former Czech Interior Minister from 1990-2, was at the weekend congress of the Free Democrats-Liberal Social National Party (SD-LSNS) elected the party's new chairman. Sokol replaced Jiri Dienstbier and Josef Lesak as party leader. Five of the 11 candidates for party leadership resigned before the first vote, among them Dienstbier, who remains in the party's 38-member Central Council. The congress was marked by a tense atmosphere and general accusations surrounding this year's Parliament and Senate election failures - the SD-LSNS does not have a representative in either chamber. In his interview for the December 2 edition of daily Lidove noviny, Sokol stated: "My first balance will be after six months. I will not wait till the next congress or elections. I want to try to squeeze something out of this party. I think it is fair, at least, to try it." Roman Jedlicka/Denisa Vitkova Three of This Year's Four Air Crashes Caused by Pilots Three of this year's four army aircraft crashes were caused by pilots failure. Only the L-39 training airplane crash near Pardubice February 1 occurred because of an old type of motor, on which the cover started to burn. The pilot of the MiG-21 who crashed September 29 close to the village Studena, near Usti nad Orlici, underestimated unfavorable meteorological conditions and was flying too low (at approximately 2,308 feet/710 meters), whereupon he hit a terrestrial barrier and crashed. He survived, albeit with serious injuries. Due to overestimating his abilities, the pilot of an Su-22 M4 lost his life in a crash near Blansko November 1 (see Carolina 222). The pilot, Michal Navesnik, practicing a roll, lost control over the steering and crashed. In the last accident, November 19 (see Carolina 224), two pilots were killed after not managing a steep curve in a MiG-23 UB and failing to eject in time. Pavel Novak/Denisa Vitkova FOREIGN RELATIONS Klaus and Kohl on Czech-German Declaration Czech Premier Vaclav Klaus and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl met for more than an hour December 3 during the Lisbon summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to discuss the adoption date of the pending declaration on bilateral relations. Both politicians confirmed the negotiation process may yet be completed by the end of this year. It is expected that the already prepared text will be initialed by Czech and German foreign ministers in mid-December and signed when Kohl comes to Prague in early 1997. The German chancellor stated nothing more stands in the way of the declaration's adoption. Before that, however, officials from both foreign ministries will meet to agree on the place and date of the final signing. Klaus and Kohl had only met once before for official talks (March 23, 1993), and the foreign ministers have not maintained frequent contact. It has been the parliaments of both countries which have most intensively pursued dialogue. Roman Jedlicka/Andy Faust FROM SLOVAKIA HZDS Preference Drops 10 Per Cent The ruling Movement For a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) has recorded a 10-per-cent drop in support since May, according to a survey of 1,254 people by the MKV Agency from November 19-25. HZDS had 34 per cent support from potential voters in May and 24 per cent in November. Within the governing coalition, the Slovak National Party became more powerful, its voter preference rising from 4.8 per cent to 8 per cent. The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) made the biggest gains among opposite parties (from 13 per cent in May to 15 per cent in November). The Democratic Union is the only member of the so-called Blue Alliance which lost some voters (a loss of about 1 per cent, now at 8.8 per cent). The Communists improved their position (from 2.4 per cent to 3.4 per cent) and so did the Social Democrats (from 1.7 per cent to 4.7 per cent), the Hungarian Coalition lost support (from 6.9 per cent to 4.7 per cent), as did the Green Party (from 3.7 per cent to 1.9 per cent). The Party of the Democratic Left, which alternately supports and opposes the coalition, increased its preference from 9 per cent to 13 per cent. The government coalition would be voted for by 35.6 per cent of voters, the opposition Blue Alliance by 28.8 per cent. Jan Potucek/Magdalena Vanova ONE-SENTENCE NEWS * The ruling HZDS wants back the parliamentary mandate of Frantisek Gaulieder, who left its parliamentary club but remains in the National Assembly as an independent. After deadline: Parliament removed Gaudlieder's mandate, and the opposition has called it the end of a lawful state. * The University of Matej Bella in Banska Bystrica will establish a School of Philology and School of Foreign Trade by the year 2000. The reason for establishing two more branches is the lack of experts in these areas in Slovakia. * Slovak TV lost its trial with Michael Kovac, Jr. November 27 concerning false information about his property, which the station said September 2 includes casinos. The station must pay compensation of 500,000 Slovak crowns and broadcast a public apology. * President Michal Kovac is ready to inform the Slovak National Assembly about the conditions of democracy in Slovakia. After a similar speech in 1994, the members of the Assembly passed a vote of no-confidence on the government of then- and current Premier Vladimir Meciar. * MVK Agency research shows the number of people who want the removal of Premier Vladimir Meciar increased. In May, 34.4 per cent of respondents were for his removal, in November 38.4 per cent.) Jan Potucek/Magdalena Vanova ECONOMY Voucher Privatization Did Not Fulfill Expectations for Majority More than half of the Czechs polled evaluate the benefits of voucher privatization negatively. They answered the question, posed by the Factum Agency, "did voucher privatization fulfill your expectations?". According to results, published in the December 2 edition of the daily Pravo, 56 per cent answered negatively (22 per cent said "definitely not" and 34 per cent "not really"), while only 40 per cent positively (9 per cent "definitely" and 31 per cent "somewhat"). Fifty-two per cent do not feel cheated by voucher privatization, 42 per cent feel cheated. Four per cent could not answer the first question, six per cent the second. Jiri Fremuth/Mirek Langer MARKETS AND COMPANIES * The Prague Stock exchange's PX 50 index found out last week what stagnation means, fluctuating around 510 points the whole week. It rose slightly in the middle of the week, finishing December 3 at 516.9 points. Trade volumes on the central market were wretched, reaching merely 60 million crowns. Investors will certainly not take interest in such an illiquid market, predictions of the further outflow of capital from Prague abound. An all-time high was reached, however, by the SPIF Cesky savings fund at 412 crowns per share. * The Comenius company conducted a survey as to the best Czech company. Their questionnaire was filled out by 1,028 entrepreneurial respondents, and they placed carmaker Skoda Mlada Boleslav at the top, followed by Commerce Bank (Komercni banka), Skoda and Chemapol. * Ostrava's Union Bank is fully assuming December 1 the liabilities and workplaces of the Skala Banking House, which Union Bank recently acquired. * Annual fees for having an account at the Securities Registry will be discontinued after December 1. The Registry will no longer send clients an annual account statement. Those interested must inquire in person and pay according to the length of the statement, and pay decidedly more than the current price of 40 crowns per statement. * Almost 9 million hectoliters is the output of Czech breweries in the first half of 1996. Eight million hectoliters were designated for the domestic market. Regular (not dark) beer made up 98 per cent of production.

From November 24-30 in the Komedie Theater, the Slovak language rang out into the hopelessly sold-out hall. Like last year, the festival was organized by Prague's Theater without Railings, represented by the Hermanek husband-and-wife team, supported by the mayors of Prague and Bratislava. Seven Slovak troupes performed this year, including Studio S, the Radosin Naive Theater and the Slovak National Theater's Little Stage. In the colorful repertoire, which included Chekhov and the newest authors, some of Slovakia's most popular actors were featured - Milan Lasica, Julius Satinsky, Emilia Vasaryova and Bozidara Turzonovova. The festival was filled out with a saloon of theater photography and an exhibit of the theater posters of the guest troupes. Contact between Czech and Slovak culture remains close, as shown not only by this festival but also its Slovak opposite, Czech Theater 1996, which took place in the beginning of November in Bratislava for the second year. Ondrej Slavik/Michael Bluhm Austrian Cultural Center Has Permanent Place in Prague On November 28, after three years of activity, the Center of Austrian Culture inaugurated its permanent location on Jungmann Square in Prague. Czech Foreign Minister Josef Zieleniec, Parliament Chairman Milos Zeman and Austrian Foreign Vice-Minister Benita Ferrero-Walder were present at the opening. The opening will be followed by many concerts of classic and modern music, the presentation of three new books on the Hapsburgs and an exhibit recalling the opening nights of Czech President Vaclav Havel's plays at the Vienna Burgtheater from 1976 to 1986. The center was opened to the public December 5. Visitors saw the exhibit of Oscar Kokoschka's early works in the gallery which bears his name, as well as the center's library, where language courses will be taught. Simona Malkovska/Jan Majer Hello Dolly! at Karlin Music Theatre Impressive applause followed the end of the musical Hello Dolly! after its opening night at Prague's Karlin Music Theater November 30. The role of Dolly Levi is played by prominent Czech comedienne Jitka Molavcova, the stage and life partner of Czech theater legend Jiri Suchy. Suchy, who founded the famous Semafor Theater, appears on stage as a guest singing Hello Dolly with his own lyrics. The musical is directed by Petr Novotny, who recently directed successful Czech versions of Jesus Christ Superstar and My Fair Lady, and Novotny said the musical is "a sad story of one adult and discerning man who decides to get married in order to have his home properly cleaned at last. He has no time to look for a bride and that is why he hires a matchmaker to do it for him. But, she takes him in - takes in his money and marries him herself," Novotny says. Hello Dolly! at the Karlin Music Theater is not deadly serious, owing to Novotny's approach and Molavcova's comic talent. In the past, the musical has been appeared twice on the stage of this theater and the song Hello Dolly is well known in the Czech Republic. Michaela Klevisova/Jan Majer Zikmund a Hanzelka Get Museum The exposition of the most famous Czech globetrotters, Miroslav Zikmund and Jiri Hanzelka, was opened in Zlin. The Zlin museum displays memorabilia, souvenirs and many photos from the 107 countries visited by the travelers in the course of their expeditions. The Zlin exhibition is the first one presented to the public after many years of silence. Zikmund and Hanzelka became personae non grata to the former Communist regime after they published Special Report No. 4, which described the true situation in the Soviet Union. Ondra Provaznik/Jan Majer SPORT Jan Zelezny Named Czech Athlete of the Year Two-time Olympic champion, world champion and javelin world-record holder (98.48 meters) Jan Zelezny, as expected, was voted the 1996 top Czech athlete. All but one of 110 trainers, officials and journalists put him in first place and so the world's most successful javelin thrower in recent years won this survey for the fourth time in a row (five times total). The standings behind Zelezny were not as clear. Decathlete Tomas Dvorak and triple-jumper Sarka Kasparkova each won European Indoor Championship silvers and Olympic bronzes. Dvorak ended up with 61 more points. Kasparkova's trainer, Milos Pogany, then said to daily MF DNES: "Whoever put Dvorak before Kasparkova doesn't understand track and field." Results of the 1996 Best Czech Athlete: 1. Jan Zelezny (javelin), 2. Tomas Dvorak (decathlon), 3. Sarka Kasparkova (triple-jump), 4. Robert Zmelik (decathlon), 5. Ludmila Formanova (800 meters), 6. Daniela Bartova (pole vault), 7. Tomas Janku (high jump), 8. Hana Benesova (200 and 400 meters), 9. Erika Suchovska (100 and 200 meters), 10. Pavel Soukup (800 meters).

WEATHER In the middle of last week snow fell and stayed on the ground for the first time this winter not only in mountains, but also in the lowlands. Roads and sidewalks dried again during the next sunny days. Temperatures rose a bit above 0 degrees Celsius/32 degrees Fahrenheit and it seems the passable weather will continue.
