FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (April 2-9) French President Visits Czech Republic French President Jacques Chirac and his wife Bernadette made a two-day visit to the Czech Republic April 2-3 on the invitation of Czech President Vaclav Havel. Chirac was presented with the highest decoration given by the Czech Republic, the Order of the White Lion. The interior ministers and justice ministers of both countries signed international agreements about mutual cooperation. The French delegation was invited for an official dinner held by Havel in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle. Chirac also met Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus April 3. The French president become the first foreign official to speak before both chambers of Parliament in the Vladislav Hall of Prague Castle. He promised France's help with integrating the Czech Republic into the EU in 2000. "I'm not speaking to a candidate for membership in some more or less lengthy period. I'm speaking to the Czech people, who will be our partner tomorrow in the great European family," Chirac said. At the end of his visit, the French president was present at the unveiling of a commemorative monumental plaque on building of new French school in Prague's Smichov neighborhood. Bernadette Chirac visited a French nursery school, the Czech-French bilingual Jan Neruda High School, and, accompanied by Czech first lady Dagmar Havlova, saw the Conservatory for the Visually Impaired. Bohdana Rambouskova/Magdalena Vanova Hospitals Breaking Laws to Treat Patients "The health of the nation is more important now than the law," said Health Minister Jan Strasky April 4, in a speech concerning the illegal approach hospitals in debt have chosen. After the Association of Medicine Wholesalers (AVEL) followed through with their threat and stopped supplying hospitals with medication (see Carolina 241), hospitals started buying medication for cash from smaller distributors. In doing so, they are committing the crime of giving preferential treatment to a creditor. In other, technically legal cases, hospitals simply go around the law and order medication from neighboring hospitals. Strasky tried to resolve the situation by establishing a crisis team, led by two of his deputy ministers. The team was to ensure the supply of medication, which the hospitals usually managed on their own. The Ministry of Health proposed the closing of 50 hospitals, which would then be made into nursing and retirement homes. Deputy Minister of Health Jiri Cihar said that hospitals would be divided into three categories and that the institutions in the last two categories would be closely supervised. The small war between the ministry and AVEL will probably end at their April 11 meeting, as AVEL has indicated a willingness to cease hostilities and resume supplying medication. Jana Weisnerova/Andrea Snyder Two New ODA Vice-Chairmen At the Civic Democratic Alliance's (ODA) central assembly in Brno April 5, Roman Ceska and Michal Prokop were elected vice chairmen. Ceska is the head of the National Property Fund and Prokop is a former Deputy Minister of Culture, though perhaps more well known as a former dissident rock singer. Although the pragmatic ODA faction, including Trade Minister Vladimir Dlouhy and ODA Chairman Michael Zantovsky, believes t this move could save the alliance, party founders are disappointed. Ivan Masek, one of the founders and head of the ODA parliamentary club, was upset. Some members of the conservative faction say that Ceska's election means the end of their party membership. The first three vice-chairmen (Ministers Dlouhy, Skalicky and Bratinka - see Carolina 240) were elected two weeks ago at the national party congress in Most. Michaela Klevisova/Andrea Snyder Journalist Barred from Press Conference with Chinese Leader Free-lance journalist Stanislav Penc, an activist for the Movement for Civic Solidarity and Tolerance, was barred from entering an April 4 press conference with Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Wu Pang-ku organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of the Interior. His press pass was valid. Trade Ministry Spokesman Miroslav Konvalina later said he could not allow a participant in the demonstrations against China to enter. Penc is a member of the Czech Syndicate of Journalists, which sent letters to the ministries of trade, interior, and foreign affairs demanding an investigation. They also sent the text of the letter to the wire services. Czech daily MF DNES writes that Penc wants to sue the press departments of both ministries. Gaparov Batyrbek/Andrea Snyder Defense Minister Brushes Off Tender Qualms American companies UNISYS and IBM April 7 protested Defense Minister Miloslav Vyborny's March 20 decision to give the the Staff Information System (SIS) tender to the EDS-Digital consortium (see Carolina 240). EDS-Digital offered to provide a system for 1.3 billion crowns to the Czech army. UNISYS, who had offered a 1.4 billion-crown system, and IBM say that the tender was irregular and that EDS-Digital's offer was incomplete. SIS is to assist in the Czech army's management transition to new, western standards. The tender was already cancelled once in 1995 by then-Defense Minister Vilem Holan due to the expert committee's procedural mistakes. Even then, it was predicted that UNISYS would win the tender. American companies EDS-Digital, IBM and UNISYS, along with IDOM, a Czech company, took part in the new tender begun in November. Vyborny was quoted in Czech daily Svobodne slovo March 8 as saying "I am convinced that my decision is unquestionable, if I had seen the smallest doubt, I would have decided differently." He did, however, inform both companies that they had an opportunity to appeal his decision at the Office for the Protection of Economic Competition. The body then has 60 days to rule on the minister's decision, and, if necessary, to announce a new tender. Vyborny believes the office will support his decision. Czech wire service CTI reported April 7 that both IBM and UNISYS will appeal the decision. David Vlk/Andrea Snyder Sponsors Kindest to Coalition Party ODA Sponsors have donated 52.4 million crowns to the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA), one of the three government coalition parties. Political parties must submit a financial report to Parliament's Budget Committee, which then issues a public report. A list of all donors of more than 100,000 crowns accompanies the report. The ruling Civic Democratic Party (ODS) took second place with 43.5 million crowns and is followed by the Christian Democrats with 9.4 million crowns. In comparison, the opposition's funding was tiny. The Social Democrats were given 690,000 crowns, the communists counted gifts as membership dues, and the Republicans acknowleged 140,000 crowns. Sponsors have attracted attention. The most problematic issue surrounds the Iceberg company, which gave 3 million crowns to Klaus' ODS. The brokerage company has changed its name three times in its six years of existence, and its name is connected with the bankruptcies of several Czech banks. It belongs to Joachim Gerlach, a German citizen sought by Interpol for financial crimes, and is run by Frantisek Chobot, who served time in a German jail with Gerlach in the 1980's. ODA givers are attracting interest as well. Giampolo Francescato privately donated more than 20 million crowns. The Italian investment consultant said "the money I sent, which was not solely mine, should have also served to bring about certain investments." Francescato is the owner of a consulting company which focuses on taxes and investment in foreign countries. ODA spokesman David Rozanek denies that sponsors could expect possible counter-services. Many ODA sponsors are hidden behind the name of a go-between, and the true donor remains anonymous. One might be surprised to learn that forestry companies invested 12 million crowns into ODA and 8.6 million into ODS. The Czech weekly Respekt reported that the Investment and Postal Bank holds majority shares in the forestry companies. The battle for wood continues in the Czech market, and forest property privatization will play a role. Rozanek explained that they probably wanted to express support of party policies. Also, the Czech tobacco producer Tabak gave each coalition party a third of Tabak's total 8.1-million-crown gift. Representatives of both ODA and ODS said their parties would return money if its origin was proven to be illegal. Jiri Fremuth/Andrea Snyder Foreign Minister Zieleniec visits Croatia Government Vice Chairman and Minister of Foreign Affairs Josef Zieleniec arrived April 8 for a one-day visit to Croatia, invited by his Croat counterpart Mate Granic. They discussed growing bilateral relations and multifaceted cooperation within international organizations, particularly CEFTA. Becoming a member of CEFTA is Croatia's number one priority. During his visit, Zieleniec also met with the chairman of the Croat Parliament and with President Franjo Tudjman. Considering Croatia's role in stabilizing the situation concerning the former Yugoslavia, Zieleniec's visit offered an opportunity to exchange opinions on developments on the Balkan peninsula. Petra Sevcikova/Sofia Karakeva Carolinum Reopens after Reconstruction The newly reconstructed areas of the oldest part of Charles University's Carolinum in Prague were reopened April 5-6 to 10,000 public visitors after almost a year of reconstruction. The historical center of Charles University celebrated its ceremonial opening at the beginning of March. Simona Malkovska/Sofia Karakeva Pafko Receives Courage Award Professor Pavel Pafko received a special medical award for "Bravery and Courage" for 1996. According to Physicians' Union Club Chairman David Rath, Pafko was rewarded for his work and approach towards President Vaclav Havel's lung-tumor operation. After the operation, Pafko noted that the hospital will not receive more for the operation than a mechanic receives for repairing a car. Lucie Vackova/Sofia Karakeva Klaus a Grandfather Premier Vaclav Klaus became a grandfather April 6. His daughter-in-law Kamila gave birth to a boy, named Vojtech after Klaus' grandfather. The boy was born in the maternity ward of the U Apolinare Hospital in Prague 1. Vaclav Klaus Jr. and Kamila Pojslova, then a student of Journalism of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University, were married September 1, 1995. Michaela Klevisova/Sofia Karakeva Havel on a Trip to Recuperate President Vaclav Havel and his wife Dagmar departed for a three-week stay in the Italian Alps and on the Dutch coast. This trip to the mountains and the sea should strengthen the president and help him recover from his lung-tumor operation in December. "The president's stay is of a medical character and not a holiday," said presidential spokesman Ladislav Spacek to Czech daily MF DNES. "He will be updated with daily information from the Czech Republic, and if needed will be connected with anyone from his office and react immediately," said Spacek. During this rehabilitative journey the president will prepare his speech for the German Federal Assembly as well as his welcoming address for the Pope's April visit to the Czech Republic. The Havels should return to Prague April 22, when Havel is slated to meet Russian Premier Viktor Chernomyrdin. Simona Malkovska/Sofia Karakeva FROM SLOVAKIA Slovak Government Asks Havel for Public Apology The Slovak government officially called on Czech President Vaclav Havel April 8 for a public apology to Premier Vladimir Meciar for Havel's statements. In an interview for the French daily Le Figaro, Havel said Meciar had been looking at extending NATO with "his typical paranoia". Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) immediately reacted to Havel's words, and requested an apology to Meciar. "The words Havel used mean offending Vladimir Meciar not only as a person but also as HZDS chairman and Slovak premier," states HZDS in its protest. Bratislava considers Havel's statements a gross breach of the basic rules of decency and something which should not appear in the communication of the representatives of two sovereign republics. However, Meciar has been criticized by the Slovak opposition more than a few times for his slightly exaggerated behavior, and opposition leaders call him a notorious liar or paranoiac. Havel's spokesman has not commented on the Slovak government's request, because Havel remains abroad. Zuzana Kawaciukova/Denisa Vitkova NATO Has Not Discussed Slovak Complaint The Czech Republic's chances to enter NATO are not and will not be, in light of a Slovak government complaint, limited in any way. An unnamed source in NATO said this to Czech daily MF DNES in reaction to the Slovak government's threat that Prague's unwillingness to discuss finishing dividing former federal property will impede Czech entry into NATO. Jan Potucek/Denisa Vitkova Last Striking Theater Resumes Play The Nitra Puppet Theater, which began the Slovak theater strike in protest against Culture Minister Ivan Hudec's machinations, changed its occupation strike to a warning one - meaning performances have resumed. This theater is continuing its striking longer than all other Slovak theaters, which resumed performances March 27. Puppet Theater employees do not agree with the recall of director Karol Spisak, which, together with the Culture Ministry's attitude, had been the main reason they went on strike. Jan Potucek/Denisa Vitkova Agent Accuses Slovak Information Service of Trying to Discredit Kovac In the first week of April, Slovak Information Service (SIS) employee Michal Patrik accused the secret service of an effort to discredit the Slovak President's son, Michal Kovac Jr. At the same time, he admitted SIS' part in Kovac Jr.'s kidnapping to Austria. Patrik submitted proof to the media in the form of written documents and recordings of a dialogue with the SIS deputy director, who explicitly pushed Patrik to testify falsely about the Kovac case in front of the camera. Patrik, worried about his safety, has been hiding outside Slovakia. Patrik works for the SIS as a so-called legalizer, an agent who presents himself as the employee of another organization. "My activity in SIS is directed toward discrediting Michal Kovac Jr. and Sr.," said Patrik. Jakub Prochazka/Denisa Vitkova ECONOMY Inflation under 7 Per Cent - Historical First The Consumer Price Index rose by a tenth in March, which means that from March 1996 inflation rose 6.8 per cent. It is the first time in the history of the Czech Republic that 12-month inflation has fallen below 7 per cent. Prices of tobacco, drinks and food fell by roughly .1 per cent, having an effect on the development of the rate. However, prices of equipment, household appliances and clothes rose by nearly .5 per cent. Leading Czech economists agreed that the March inflation rate was a success. "The decreasing level of inflation is becoming a stable point and a reliable staple of the economy, but we must not forget that the March results are partially due to seasonal decreases in the prices of food goods," said Czech Central Bank (CNB) spokesman Martin Svehla. The CNB had to endure criticism from Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus and his coalition colleagues, who say the bank introduced too many anti-inflation measures and that it underestimated economic growth. Although the bank rejects the theory, the current decrease in economic activity is being shown in falling state budget revenues and the trickle of funds available for industrial investment and development. Predictions say April's inflation will increase sharply, due to the rise in telephone rates and postal services, and again in July because of rents and energy rates going up. Kamil Janacek, a leading economist at the Commerce Bank (Komercni banka), says the inflation rate should then gradually decrease, and that at the end of the year it should be below 8 per cent. Petra Sevcikova/Andrea Snyder One More Delay in Launching Temelin Nuclear Power Station The completion of the Temelin nuclear power plant will be postponed for one more year, and its costs will increase by another 7 billion crowns. The first 2,000-megawatt power block is to be connected to the electric power network in April 1999, and overall construction costs will surpass 75 billion crowns, according to an announcement made by Trade Minister Vladimir Dlouhy at the April 2 cabinet meeting. The original timetable from the 1980's set the inaugural date for the year 1992, while the present postponement is the fifth in Temelin's history. Dlouhy denies any personal responsibility, and blames the owner and investor, Czech Energy Works (CEZ), for the situation. Dlouhy's report annoyed even government officials this time. In 1998 CEZ shall stop, in accordance with the provisions of the Environemtal Act, work of several coal power stations in Northern Bohemia, and there will be no substitute for the missing 800-megawatt capacity previously projected for Temelin in the 1998-99 winter. On the other hand, CEZ does not expect any problems, because the likely deficit can be covered by foreign imports. CEZ spokesman Michal Kacena said CEZ will try to do its best to complete Temelin in 1998. According to Kacena, the main obstacle is the general contractor for the Temelin power plant, the Skoda Praha company. Despite unending problems, starting from combining the original Russian plan with American technology, the Czech government was holding a protecting hand over the Temelin construction, but now, however, doubts about the efficiency of the project have arisen. Nevertheless, Dlouhy informed Czech daily MF DNES April 3 that "Temelin is still the cheapest alternative in considering the new source of energy the Czech Republic will need."

His masterpiece is The Greatest of the Pierots. The novel, based on the true story of Kaspar Deburau, a mime of Czech origin, has been shot as a TV series. Kozik wrote more than 100 works - novels, plays, screenplays and radio plays. Using the pen-name Jiri Zalman he used to contribute to screenplays in the 1930s. He was interested also in sports themes, but mostly he concentrated on historical matters and personalities, like the Czech Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, composer Leos Janacek or poet Luis de Camoes of Portugal. Before World War II he had already received an international festival prize for his radio play on the life of Christopher Columbus. Lucie Vackova/Jan Majer Viewegh's Bestseller Adapted for Film A new Czech film adapted from Michal Viewegh's eponymous novel, The Wonderful Years of Lousy Living (Bajecna leta pod psa), had its premiere in Prague's Galaxie Multiplex April 2. The novel was also adapted for the theater (performed by the Brno's Theater on a Leash), and is now on film five years after its publication. The two main characters are played by Ondrej Vetchy and Libuse Safrankova, in the tragicomedy about Kvido and his family, based on the author's parents. The small family saga about an eccentric father, unique mother, their genius son and the wonderful years of socialism was directed by first-timer Petr Nikolaev. The screenplay was written by Jan Novak, The Czech-born Chicago resident who co-wrote fellow emigre Milos Forman's Valmont and the recent Czech film Whisper (Septej), while cameraman is Martin Duba, keeper of the Czech Lion for his camerawork in Forgotten Light (Zapomenute svetlo). The popular and catchy story, which guarantees big audiences, was one reason why the State Fund for the Support and Development of Cinematography gave a grant of 7.5 million crowns to help make the film. Lenka Javurkova/Magdalena Vanova SPORTS Hockey Title Stays in Vsetin On April 8, Vsetin's hockey players raised their arms in victory after their match in Vitkovice, because they had just succeeded in winning the Czech Republic championship for the third year in a row. Vitkovice lost both matches in Vsetin (1-3 and 2-4), but still decided to make the opponent's route to the title more difficult. They started the match efficiently and with frequent shots, but Vsetin's Galkin scored in the 11th minute. Nor after the second goal, by Srsen, did Vitkovice lay down its arms, but their attackers' bad luck and goalie Cechmanek's mastery stopped them from coming back. After gallons of champagne were drunk and the heads of Coach Jan Neliba and his assistant Zdislav Taraba were shaved clean, the players' bus returned to Vsetin, where celebrations went on till the next day. In the match for third place, played by semifinal losers Sparta Praha and Pardubice, Sparta defeated its opponent in Pardubice 6-5 in overtime, and then repeated the trick once more in Prague. After the second win (4-1), it took the series 2-0 and qualified for next year's European Hockey League. Pavel Novak/Mirek Langer Davis Cup Tennis: Ignominious Czech Loss Nobody expected the Czech team would lose the Davis Cup quarterfinals so easily - in Adelaide the squad lost to Australia 0-5. The country's best players refused Captain Vladislav Savrda's requests to play, and Jiri Novak and Pavel Vizner fell ill in Australia. The team's remnants were not able to hold off the Australians. Damm lost to Rafter 1-6, 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 4-6, and Rikl won only one set against Philippoussis: 1-6, 4-6, 6-2, 4-6 April 4. The next day's doubles came out as expected, Woodforde and Woodbridge are the best pair in the world and had no trouble defeating Damm and Rikl 6-4, 1-6, 7-5, 6-4. The singles matches April 6 then were played only as the best of three sets. Rikl was closer to getting a point for the Czechs against Rafter 6-7 (13-15), 6-0, 2-6 and Philippoussis closed out the 5-0 Austalian shutout as he defeated Damm 6-4 and 6-2. Vit Bartek/Mirek Langer Unexpected Loss in Soccer World Cup Qualification After a 1-2 loss to Yugoslavia, the Czech national soccer team's chances to advance to the World Cup in France in 1998 dwindled nearly to nothing. The Czech Republic is fourth in its group. Czech soccer players had trouble with the Yugoslav defense and with scoring. Kuka was the archetype of Czech shooting ineptitude, as he blew a few good chances. The Yugoslavs scored on a Mijatovic free kick. The second half continued in a similar vein. The Yugoslav defense played well and space for breaks opened in front of them. But Czech goalkeeper Miklosko caught some shots and when Bejbl scored from the penalty area border, fortune seemed to smile on the Czechs. As time ran out, the Czechs got nervous and Milosevic closed match in extended time, when his goal determined the score: Czech Rep. - Yugoslavia 1-2. Vit Bartek/Mirek Langer Soccer League: First-Place Sparta Spanks Second-Place Jablonec The duel between first-place Sparta and second-place Jablonec should have been the 22nd round's top match. In the 18th minute referee Brabec showed a red card to Jablonec's fullback Penicka and from that moment its defense collapsed. Ivan Hasek recorded a hat trick and Sparta defeated Jablonec 6-0. Bohemians had the same success as Jablonec in Drnovice, and they stayed in last place in the standings. Also second-to-last Karvina did not manage to win on its own field, and tied Hradec Kralove 0-0. The match between Liberec and Slavia Praha was postponed because of an unplayable field. Complete 22nd round results: Drnovice - Bohemians 6-0, Sparta - Jablonec 6-0, Karvina - Hradec Kralove 0-0, Teplice - Opava 1-0, Ceske Budejovice - Zizkov 1-0, Olomouc - Plzen 3-0, Brno - Ostrava 3-2. Standings: 1. Sparta 43 pts., 2. Jablonec 40, 3. Liberec 39, 4. Slavia 37, 5. Brno 35, 6. Drnovice 34, 7. Olomouc 34, ... 15. Karvina 17, 16. Bohemians 15. Zdenek Janda/Mirek Langer First Sponsor Millions for Czech Olympic Committee Czech Olympic Committee (COV) representatives signed sponsor contracts with seven large partners (Adidas, Czech Insurance, Czech Television, the newspaper MF DNES, the brewery Radegast, the gambling enterprise Sazka and the automaker Skoda), which will bring 175 million crowns to the COV. The COV chairman expects the committee will sign further contracts in order to raise the 350 million crowns in sponsor income by the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Zdenek Janda/Mirek Langer SPORTS IN BRIEF * The Czech Volleyball Union named Pavel Holcik from Odolena Voda and Eva Stepancikova from Muenster the top 1996 players. * The Olymp Praha volleyball team won the women's Czech championship, defeating Lapos Frenstat 3-0 in the final series. In the semifinals they defeated Olomouc 3-2, and ended Olomouc's four-year title reign. * IMOS Zabovresky players won the decisive fifth match and took the women's basketball league finals over USK Praha 3-2. Zdenek Janda/Mirek Langer WEATHER The existence of spring can be detected only by those human beings who posess a sixth sense. The sun shines, but only seldomly. From time to time snow falls. Women are wearing miniskirts already, and men are shivering from cold. Moreover, meteorologists forecast snowfalls and night-frost (-5 degrees Celsius/23 degrees Fahrenheit) for this next weekend.
