FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (November 19 - 26) ODS Reveals Sponsor After a two-year information vacuum, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) discovered who anonymously sent more than 7 million crowns to the party's account. Former tennis player and current investment fund director Milan Srejber came forward November 24 as the anonymous sponsor. In 1995, ODS received two 3.75-million-crown gifts. Lajos Bacs of Budapest and Radjiv Sinha of Mauratius were listed as the sponsors. However, it was soon revealed that Bacs had been dead for more than a decade and that Sinha had never heard of ODS (see Carolina 201). Last week the media speculated whether the money had anything to do with the privatization tender for the iron and steelworks company Trinecke zelezarny, which was going on at the time. Moravia Steel, of which Srejber is a co-owner, bought half the shares. When Srejber admitted he was the anonymous sponsor, ODS Vice Chairman Miroslav Macek and ODS Manager Tomas Ratiborsky checked the account numbers with Srejber's. They matched, and the names Bacs and Sinha finally disappeared from the list of sponsors. Srejber announced his gift had nothing to do with the steelworks' privatization, and ODS and Trinecke zelezarny have distanced themselves from the case. Several questions still remain. Who covered the anonymous amount with fictitious names? Former ODS Executive Director Libor Novak, who was managing party finances at the time, said the names were found in the letters which accompanied the donations. No one but Novak has seen the letters. Erik Tabery/Andrea Snyder After deadline: The daily MF DNES published a story November 27 headlined "Top ODS Politicians Hide the Truth about Sponsors" where the Czech ambassador to Sweden Petr Kolar and enterpreneur Michal Kuzmiak declared that several of the most influential ODS politicians knew Srejber was the real sponsor 18 months ago. Ex-minister of foreign affairs Josef Zieleniec, who cited his disapproval of the financing of ODS as one of the reasons for his resignation, claimed that even the prime minister knew the truth. On the same day, Klaus denied the charge and said he had learned the identity of the sponsor this week. Novak admitted he had negotiated the sponsorship with representatives of Moravia Steel, and he was ready to take personal responsibility for hiding the sponsor's name. ODS Vice Chairman and Finance Minister Ivan Pilip said, he is prepared to resign if the situation is not satisfactorily explained. "If it is shown that the prime minister knew, and concealed it in spite of that, it would be a very serious accusation for the premier and it would certainly be a consideration for his resignation," said ODS Vice Chairman Miroslav Macek to daily Pravo November 28. School Fees at Czech Universities Next Year? The Czech cabinet approved November 19 the draft of the new University Act submitted by Education Minister Jiri Grusa (no party affiliation), with minor additional notes. The most controversial provision of the new bill pertains to the indroduction of tuition. The bill supposes that tuition will increase not only the responsibility of students in respect to their study, but also will initiate their interest in a higher quality curriculum. Tuition is to be introduced only for students beginning university study after the law comes into effect September 1, 1998. The basic rate of school fees will be calculated according to each school's non-investment expenditures, and the rate will be set by the Ministry of Education. The actual rate will range from one to three times the basic rate. According to the law, the first year's basic rate will be 3,000 crowns, so tuition will not exceed 9,000 crowns per school year, i.e. the average monthly salary (300 USD). The above-mentioned tuition fee will be applied only to students who do not protract their study. If someone exceeds the standard length of study, each extra month is to be charged by at least one-quarter of the year's basic rate. The bill guarantees foreigners the same conditions of study as for the Czech citizens. If a government scholarship is granted, it will be large enough to cover all tuition expenses. The proposed law also modifies relations between universities and research institutes as well as cooperation between university and non-university research institutes, with the purpose of fully utilizing the capacity of scientific institutes, namely the Czech Academy of Sciences. Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus is of the opinion that the new University Act will stir up heavy debate in Parliament and the public. Nevertheless, according to Klaus, the bill is "a distinctive, modern law which our country needs." Jan Puncochar/Milan Smid Beer, Pirozhky and Goulash Lure into NATO On November 23 on Prague's Wenceslas Square, while drinking Czech beer and eating Polish pirozhky and Hungarian goulash, citizens had the chance to talk to politicians, artists, and athletes who came to support Czech Republic membership in NATO. According to public opinion polls, about 50 per cent of respondents supports membership. As for government coalition representatives, Defense Minister Miloslav Vyborny (Christian Democrats), Prague Mayor Jan Koukal (Civic Democratic Party) and Prague Civic Democratic Alliance Chairman Jan Kalvoda came to the meeting. Parliament and opposition Social Democrats Chairman Milos Zeman, again accused the government, and specifically the Foreign Ministry, of absolute passivity in convincing people of the necessity to enter NATO. He considers avoiding a referendum to be cowardly (the Social Democrats request a referendum, but Parliament recently rejected a constitutional amendment on referendums). None of the present politicians gave a speech, which, according to meeting organizer and journalist Jan Urban, is the major point where public officials failed concerning the NATO publicity. Urban said he was also disappointed that some of the invited artists and athletes made their participation conditional to receiving a fee. Jiri Zizka/Denisa Vitkova NATO Says Czech Republic Unable to Keep Information Secret When he held the office of Czech ambassador to Belgium, Foreign Minister Jaroslav Sedivy October 17 sent a confidential report to Prague in which he described NATO's reservations regarding the unclear role and qualifications of the Czech National Safety Office, which should become NATO's partner in handling confidential material. In his dispatch, Sedivy quotes Alliance Security Office Director Peter Gallant, who said the Czech Republic's security protection system is not only nonfunctioning, but basically nonexistent. Sedivy's note about the Czech Republic's inability to keep information secret has become proof of Gallant's statement, as, one month later, it has appeared in the newspapers. "I do not like that this report of mine has been quoted in the press. It was sent for the addressee only, I sent it to Prague in a somewhat exaggerated form, in order to reach a solution for the situation quickly," Sedivy said to daily Lidove noviny November 25. The serious shortcomings for which the Czech Republic has been rebuked could influence its incorporation into the Alliance. Prague would not have to receive information the Alliance considers secret. Compared to Poland and Hungary, the Czech Republic would be at a disadvantage and be reduced to a side track. Amendments to the Confidential Materials Security Act, which the Interior Ministry has been preparing, are to be discussed by the government November 28. This law will come into effect probably in the second half of 1998. "The reliability of those who will come into contact with NATO materials will be, before the law comes into effect, checked by a government statute," said Interior Ministry Confidential Materials' Section Director of Control Vaclav Rezler in the November 25 edition of daily Lidove noviny. Petr Bilek Jr./Denisa Vitkova Parliament Deputies Refuse to Discuss Benes Decrees Austrian Federal Chancellor Viktor Klima and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wolfgang Schussel told a Czech Parlaiment delegation led by Chairman Milos Zeman that Austria supports the Czech Republic's entrance into the EU. However, in the legislature the deputies were warned that good political relations with neighboring countries are not enough. The National Council reminded them that actual socio-economic indicators will decide whether the Czech Republic joins the European Union. Zeman said that although the economic growth of the Czech Republic has slowed in the past two years, he is convinced that the nation's population structure, education and ability to improvise will positively contribute to the development of the EU. The Austrians criticized the Benes Decrees, saying that such documents have no place in a country with civil rights and laws close to those of the EU. Zeman and Civic Democratic Alliance deputy Daniel Kroupa said there is no possibility to cancel the decrees. The Benes Decrees, issued by President Eduard Benes after World War II, enabled the confiscation of property belonging to Czech Germans and the expulsion of supposed collaborators. Jan Kozanek/Andrea Snyder Hospital Patients to Contribute to Hospital Stay The proposed Healthcare Act was approved November 19 by the government. As of July 1998, a stay in a Czech Hospital will cost 50 crowns per day. Other provisions, like fees for emergency room services, would not valid until 1999. Patients will be required to pay 30 per cent of E.R. services, or a maximum of 800 crowns annually. Parliament will approve the amount of the fees each year. The Health Ministry said the law will limit misuse of health care services and the government will increase spending to 7-8 billion crowns annually. The government ignored comments made by the General Health Insurance Company that there is a risk of neglecting health care, especially in poorer communities. Much of the money will be swallowed by administrative fees, claimed the insurance company. Katerina Murlova/Andrea Snyder Decade of Spiritual Renewal Comes to a Close The November 23 mass served in Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral November 23 concluded both celebrations of the millenium of St. Adalbert (Vojtech) launched by Pope John Paul II during his spring visit of Prague and the Decade of Spiritual Renewal initiated by Cardinal Frantisek Tomasek in 1987. Tomasek's successor, Miloslav Vlk, archbishop of Prague, admitted on this occasion that not all the goals of the program were achieved. However, he and other Catholic Church representatives believe the Church's part in the social changes which began in November 1989 and influenced by the supportive atmosphere around the recent canonization of the Czech St. Agnes (Anezka), can be regarded as a success. In the following years, according to Tomas Halik, a priest and the Christian Academy's chairman, the Church was not able to prove its importance in society and its public usefulness, but instead had a poor image because of its rigid attitude towards the restitution of its property. Halik likens the Church to Adalbert, who must have seemed incompetent to his contemporaries because he was unable to persuade the Czechs to accept his ideals. St. Adalbert lived in the 10th century, and was a bishop trying to promote Christianity in Bohemia. Veronika Machova/Veronika Machova Romany Children at Prague Castle The 70 participants in a literary competition in the Romany (Gypsy) language visited Prague Castle. They had the opportunity to tour some of the castle with the president's wife, Dagmar Havlova, as their guide. Romany pupils from 45 elementary and special education schools sent their essays on such topics as "My Family" or "An Interesting Experience" to the competition organized by the New School (Nova skola) Foundation. The best works were translated into Czech and distributed to other schools. Non-Romany children made pictures to illustrate them and a compilation was created from the winners' works. Prokop Havel/Veronika Machova Another Czech Record Holder? DJ Karel Martinek of private Prague radio station Rokko is trying to get into the Guinness's Book of World Records. Martinek would like to challenge a several-year-old record of 100 hours of continuous live broadcasting, and hopes to break the record by more than 20 hours. He started broadcasting November 24 at 6 a.m. Central European Time. At Carolina's deadline he had 54 hours behind him. His voice sounds tired but joyful, and he says he feels excellent and will hold on. Jaroslav Mares/Veronika Machova After deadline: Martinek has broken the record and is still broadcasting.

Paula Majorova a Eva Fronkova/Sofia Karakeva ECONOMY The Privatization of Banks Triggered Off As proposed by the Ministry of Finance, the government November 17 approved the privatization of three biggest Czech banks - Commerce Bank (Komercni banka - KB), the Czech Savings Bank (Ceska Sporitelna - CS) and the Czechoslovak Trade Bank (Ceskoslovenska Obchodni Bank - CSOB). The Cabinet should choose foreign advisers by December 10 and the tenders will be announced by the end of February. The main requirement for the privatization is to sell at least 51 per cent of the shares of CSOB to one foreign investor. The shares in KB and CS will be is 34 per cent. The state holds 45 per cent of CS, 48.74 per cent of KB and 65.69 per cent of CSOB, altogether worth from 35 billion crowns to 45 billion crowns, said Finance Ministry director Pavel Stepanek. However, Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus pointed out the final price of these shares might be lower because the banks hold a number of bad loans. In a debate on TV NOVA he said "one of the biggest Hungarian banks was recently sold for nothing." There are some problems in selling shares of KB and CSOB stemming from the split of Czechoslovakia. In October Klaus and Slovak Premier Vladimir Meciar agreed to solving the situation in KB by the end of the year. The Ministry of Finance suggested to start privatization of CSOB regardless of the Slovak refusal to cooperate. Madiyar Magauin/Matej Cerny October Outcome of Foreign Trade Better Than Last Year In the first 10 months of 1997 the trade-balance deficit has risen to 111.9 billion crowns. In 1997 imports stand at 694.8 billion crowns, exports at 582.9 billion crowns. October's deficit was 9.6 billion crowns, which is 6.1 billion crowns better than last year. However, many analysts were unpleasantly surprised by the October results, released November 24 from the Czech Statistical Office (CSU). Many expected the deficit to be 2.1 billion crowns lower. According to business daily Hospodarske noviny, the Czech National Bank and the CSU call the results pleasing and say they confirm the rapid growth of exports and the decline in the growth of imports. CSU Vice Chairman Ivan Sulaj rejected the opinion that the growth of exports merely derives from the crown's May devaluation. Tomas Kanka of EB Brokers agreed, saying export growth stems from a European economic boom and past investments in the processing sector. Ondrej Hanzal/Ajla Zinhasovic British Agency IBCA Lowers Rating of Czech Republic The London IBCA rating agency lowered rating of the Czech Republic from an A- to BBB+ November 24. For Czech investors interested in foreign loans, the decline caused a rise in prices of financial resources. The Czech National Bank (CNB) said it does not consider the step a radical decline in the evaluation of the Czech economy. However, the bank admits it is a warning. In spite of the lowered rating, the Czech Republic maintained its leading position among post-Communist countries - behind Slovenia (A+) and in front of Estonia, Hungary and Poland (BBB). Increasing foreign debt, which has reached 44 per cent of gross domestic product (40 per cent is often the maximum sustainable limit), is suggested as the main reason for the decline. Expert say political stabilization and perseverance in economic reforms the only way to repair the reputation of the Czech economy. Other rating agencies did not lower their ratings: Standard and Poor's (A) and Moody's (B). The situation caused a radical decline of the crown November 25, as the exchange rate per deutschmark reached 19.34 - one of the worst rates of the year. According to Reuters, some businessmen even expect a fall to the magical level of 20 crowns per deutschmark. Neither for Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus nor for CNB Governor Josef Tosovsky is the lower rating and the decline of the crown alarming. Both said they expected the IBCA's step to come in May and not now, when the economic indicators seem to be improving. "It only means we had to leave the highest peak, where we were with Slovenia, for one level lower. It's no tragedy, no victory, no reason to celebrate either," said Klaus to Czech Radio.

The new Czech film The Button-Pushers (Knoflikari) from Petr Zelenka, a 30-year-old screenwriter and director, was released November 19 after a test run on video. Unlike his first work, the full-length fictitious document about an actual band (Mnaga Happyend), this is a true work. Zelenka once again showed his preference for casting non-actors, and so amateurs, artists and musicians like Jan Cechticky from the band Ohm Square perform on screen next to experienced professionals. This strategy is fully in accordance with philosophy of the film, which depicts human types rather than developing individual characters. The form and the subject of the six interwoven stories depicted in The Button-Pushers align it more with worldwide independent production, rather than with recent sentimental Czech films. Pavel Turek/Nora Novakova Oasis Offended by Arrogance The British band Oasis, coming to the Czech Republic for the first time, arrived November 20 in Prague. The famous "britpop" band, known for its arrogance towards journalists, was to meet an unpleasant welcome from the Czech media. A Prima TV reporter, Pavla Seifterova, asked Noel Gallagher at Prague's Ruzyne Airport "Are you really such idiots as you are said to be?" The guitarist, shocked and unable to speak, just frowned and without saying a word turned his back to the cameras and left. As Judita Dudova from 10:15 Promotion said to daily Lidove Noviny, the question spurred the band to cancel its planned dinner and photo opportunity. Although Dudova said the band felt really insulted, Gallagher did not look offended at all to Seifterova. The journalist considers her question acceptable and refers to the title of a recent article about Oasis in the British press (Oasis, Gods Or Idiots?). "We would expect the members of a band famous for, besides undisputable musical talent, their markedly scandalous behavior to be less sensitive about breezy expressions. They often use much stronger words in public, not uncommonly when addressing the journalists," Lidove noviny comment the incident. Despite the incident, Oasis did not cancel their November 21 performance and kicked off the show off exactly at 9 p.m. on a stage resembling a hotel reception area with a phone box in the back. Lenka Vochocova\Jana Ciglerova SPORTS Novotna Wins Tennis WTA Tour Championships in New York Czech tennis player Jana Novotna fulfilled her dream about winning an important world tournament, defeating Mary Pierce (France) 7-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the WTA Tour Championships final November 22. She underscored her success with another finals win with Lindsay Davenport (United States) in doubles, as they defeated French pair Alexandra Fusai and Natalie Tauziat 6-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 November 21. Novotna said: "Even if I don't win another tournament or match more, I know I am the player I'd always wanted to be: I am a champion." The second-seeded Novotna defeated Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (Spain) 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 in the quarterfinal and Irina Spirlea (Rumania) 7-6, 6-2 in the semifinal. Her greatest rival, world number-one Martina Hingis (Switzerland), lost in the quarterfinal to Pierce. Novotna won her fourth title this year, after Madrid, Leipzig and Moscow. David Kozohorsky/Mirek Langer Slavia Praha Soccer Team Fans Disappointed after Loss in Pribram About 12,000 spectators visited the stadium in Pribram to watch the marquee match of the soccer league's 14th round. Most of them left unsatisfied, as league novice Dukla defeated Slavia Praha 2-0 (goals: Vyskocil, Otepka). Dukla's supremacy lasted throughout the match, as Slavia could not manage to create even one good chance. Dukla avenged its 1996 Cup final loss to Slavia in June, where they lost after Vacha's goal in overtime. Dukla assistant coach Jan Fiala told Carolina he is satisfied with the result, but he refused to comment on Slavia's play. Slavia remained in second place in the standings, but is now 12 points behind Sparta. Results: Brno - Zizkov 3-2, Opava - Ceske Budejovice 2-1, Sparta Praha - Olomouc 1-0, Ostrava - Liberec 1-2, Drnovice - Bohdanec 3-1, Dukla - Slavia Praha 2-0, Hradec Kralove - Plzen 1-0, Jablonec - Teplice 1-0.

Karolina Kucerova/Mirek Langer Loss to Slavia Knocks Vitkovice from First Place Reigning champion Vsetin strengthened Moravian teams' hegemony in the hockey extraleague. Vsetin won three matches in row and moved into third place. Trinec has held the top position since the 26th round, when Vitkovice lost to Slavia. Slavia has a nice streak going, with no losses in their last six matches and has moved into seventh place, tying Sparta. Results: 25th round: Slavia Praha - Kladno 2-1, Litvinov - Sparta Praha 3-2, Ceske Budejovice - Vitkovice 3-3, Plzen - Trinec 4-4, Karlovy Vary - Jihlava 5-0, Zlin - Vsetin 2-5, Opava - Pardubice 1-5. 26th round: Vitkovice - Slavia Praha 0-1, Opava - Sparta Praha 3-2, Kladno - Zlin 5-2, Jihlava - Ceske Budejovice 3-1, Pardubice 4-1, Trinec - Karlovy Vary 6-6, Vsetin - Litvinov 3-0. 27th round: Jihlava - Slavia Praha 1-3, Kladno - Litvinov 1-1, Pardubice - Trinec 1-5, Vitkovice - Zlin 8-1, Sparta Praha - Plzen 2-2, Karlovy Vary - Ceske Budejovice 2-2, Vsetin - Opava 5-1.

Nighttime temperatures reached a deep freeze of minus 5 degrees Celsius/23 degrees Fahrenheit. Nobody in Ostrava, in northern Moravia, was quite sure what was going on while desperately waiting in a hail storm for streetcars later announced to have derailed. Neverending columns of cars caused by chain-reaction accidents lined highways throughout the country this week. The trip from Prague to Brno, usually requiring not more than two hours, could last up to five hours, when encountering bad luck, fog and icy road.
