FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK (November 25 - December 2) Parliament Approves Budget The government's revised budget with a deficit of 31 billion crowns was approved November 25 by Parliament's Chamber of Deputies. It passed on its first reading with 113 deputies from 200 in favor: the governing Social Democrats (CSSD), the Communists (KSCM) and all but two of the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL). There were 82 deputies against from the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the Freedom Union (US). The original budget, with a deficit of 26.8 billion crowns was rejected by Parliament in the middle of October. The budget assumes 574.1 billion crowns of income and 605.1 billion crowns of expenses. The budget's specific disbursements will be discussed January 12. During the interim the government will follow the budget passed last week. According to economists, the increase in investments from last year is a good sign, but where the government invests will be decisive. Prime Minister Milos Zeman said he was satisfied with the vote's result, but a disappointed Parliament Chairman Vaclav Klaus (ODS) said that changes from the original version were only cosmetic. Klara Nedvedova/Sofia Karakeva Farmers Block Transportation, Agriculture Minister Meets with EU Farmers protested against the import of subsidized pork from EU countries November 27 by blocking roads throughout the country. The blockade, which surprisingly did not include Prague, caused long lines on the country's roads. Czech farmers are convinced that domestic agricultural producers cannot compete with the subsidized goods - particularly pork - from the EU. The sharp decline of pork prices internationally caused a reduction in European producers' sales and the EU responded with an export subsidy which reduced prices further. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Czech pork producers have lost 675 billion crowns. The farmers' blockade was the climax of a series of attempts to make the government and the public aware of the situation. An earlier blockade on the Prague-Brno D1 highway saw the farmers loose a herd of pigs on the road. The pig parade ended in front of the Office of the Government, the Straka Academy. Minister of Agriculture Jan Fencl discussed this problem with EU Agriculture Commissioner Franz Fischler November 30 in Brussels and December 1 he met in Bonn with his German counterpart, Karl-Heinz Funk (Germany is the biggest exporter of pork to the Czech Republic). The discussions will continue December 7. Zuzana Janeckova, Pavel Novotny/Sofia Karakeva Last NATO Member Ratifies Expansion The Senate of the Dutch Parliament December 1 approved membership of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The ratification process, which requires the consent of all 16 member states, thus came to an end. According to Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan, the Czech Republic, as well as Poland and Hungary, also have to meet minimal NATO military standards. He said the Czech Army will be ready to join NATO at the beginning of March at the earliest. Jan Moravek/Milan Smid Architect Jan Kasl New Prague Mayor After weeks of negotiations to form a coalition for Prague City Hall, 47-year-old architect Jan Kasl became the new mayor of Prague November 26. A coalition agreement between the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and the Social Democrats (CSSD), which gives them a majority in City Hall, allowed ODS to occupy the post of mayor. Kasl is not a newcomer to local politics - from 1990-94 he served on the City Council. Kasl was elected mayor after negotiations with the second strongest party in City Hall, the Freedom Union, broke down. The November 25 resignation of former Mayor Jan Koukal (ODS), who admitted he would not have the support to be elected again, did not mean resolve the ODS-Freedom Union disputes. Other candidates for mayor were Union leader and former Environment Minister Martin Bursik and Communist Miroslav Ransdorf. Bursik was not willing to take the same step as Koukal, which essentially blocked the formation of an ODS-Union coalition. ODS banded together with the Social Democrats in spite of the fact that its election campaign was based on enmity towards the post-Communists - one ODS slogan was We Will Not Give Them City Hall. Various coalitions came into being in other cities which elect a mayor. ODS and the Social Democrats formed a coalition in Hradec Kralove, with the participation of independents. A coalition of right-wing parties with the Social Democrats will continue in Ostrava. A completely different situation occurred in Olomouc and Ceske Budejovice, where ODS won the elections but will not rule because coalitions were formed by the Social Democrats, Freedom Union and the Christian Democrats, joined by the Communists in Ceske Budejovice. The only left-wing coalition between the Social Democrats and the Communists was formed in Havirov. On the contrary, the right wing will keep the city halls for itself in Brno, Karlovy Vary, Usti nad Labem, Liberec, Pardubice and Zlin. Marketa Kaclova/Denisa Vitkova Government Submits Suspicious Privatization Cases for Review Starting in 1999, the Supreme Control Office (NKU) will investigate questionable privatizations cases, public tenders and management of state finances and subsidies submitted by the Social Democrat government November 26. There are 20 companies on the list of privatization cases, including CKD Blansko, the Trinec Ironworks, Crystalex Novy Bor and the Janske Lazne State Health Institution. The Supreme Control Office should review management of the Interior Ministry's Medical Insurance Company, Sazka, Phare Fund and some school institutions, as well as the upholding of regulations by private schools and the public tender for the Army's information system. The activities of the Czech Republic's Land Fund should also be reviewed. It is not clear whether NKU will actually investigate the submitted cases, because it is an independent office which the government cannot control. The NKU has its own plan for investigation which, according to NKU spokeswoman Julie Sebelova, will take into consideration the government's submissions. Pavlina Hodkova/Denisa Vitkova David Rath Elected Head of Czech Physicians' Chamber David Rath was elected president of Czech Physicians' Chamber (CLK) November 28 in Olomouc at its 8th general meeting. Rath, chairman of the Physicians' Union Club (LOK) received 234 votes from the 403 delegates voting in the second round. Rath, known foremost as the organizer of doctors' protests and strikes, defeated Ivan Vonek, the head of hematology in Ceske Budejovice. Rath's success might be connected with the fact that the doctors were dissatisfied with the approach of former President Bohuslav Svoboda, who was head of the organization since 1992. He could only be elected to two terms, according to the chamber rules. Helena Rognerova, director of Prague's Faculty Hospital Motol, said, "The doctors elected a man who is a guarantee of more intensive action." Rath, 32, supports for the most unified stance of all medical organizations and common pressure to correct problems in the healthcare system. He promised to promote the chamber's interests in intensive negotiating with the health minister, to improve physicians' standing with insurers and to support patient payments for extra services. Michaela Prokopova/Jan Martinek No D8 Expressway in Foreseeable Future The Ministry of the Environment refused to grant permission for the completion of the D8 expressway. The D8 was planned to be a part of the route from Prague to Dresden. The most problematic leg lies between Lovosice and the small village of Rehlovice and goes through the protected nature preserve of Ceske stredohori. Ecologists agree with the ministry's decision, but the Czech Roads and Highways Central Office and communities close to the planned route are disappointed. Usti nad Labem Mayor Ladislav Hruska said it is essential to finish the highway for the further growth of the city and northern Bohemia. Their appeal will be judged by the ministry's Appeals Commission, but the last word belongs to Environment Minister Milos Kuzvart. Kuzvart is under pressure from some communities, construction companies and also some colleagues from the ministry, who support the finishing of the highway. He will also have to consider German interests, which count on the Czech highway connecting with the planned German route through Dresden. Alena Smrzova, Tomas Kohout/Jakub Jirovec Police Arrest 11 Skinheads Police arrested 11 neo-Nazis after a Czech skinhead rally November 28. They were accused of supporting and propagating ideas leading to the repression of human rights and freedom. The skinheads had reserved a restaurant (Lidovy dum) in the small village of Stahlavy in Pilsen (Plzen) County. More than 100 policemen and two special units waited in the Pilsen train station and accompanied them to Stahlavy. The skinheads were officially attending a concert; one of the groups was Flag (Vlajka), which has had problems with the police because of its fascist lyrics. Police inspected the skinheads and arrested 11 who had Nazi symbols on their sleeves. The rally ended two hours later than planned. There were no other incidents. Radan Dolejs/Jakub Jirovec NEWS IN BRIEF * Irenej Kratochvil, deputy director of the National Security Office, was appointed director of the Office for the Documentation and Investigation of Communist Crimes December 1. He will replace Marian Gula, who resigned November 15 after causing a traffic accident while driving under the influence. * The Czech government decided to stop privatization of medical facilities for five months. Flaws in previous privatizations were the reason given for the step by Health Minister Ivan David. * The Czech and Slovak Defense Ministers Vladimir Vetchy and Pavol Kanis signed an agreement on technical cooperation November 30. * Slovak Culture Minister Milan Knazko met his Czech counterpart Pavel Dostal in Prague November 30. They agreed on the further development of the Czech-Slovak cultural cooperation, and their intention was included in the signed protocol which should substitute for the Czech-Slovak Culture Treaty, which still has not come into existence. * Vice Miss Czech Republic Alena Seredova (whose name means something approximating ugly) finished in the top 10 in the Miss World competition. She took the place of Miss Czech Republic Katerina Stocesova because Stocesova's English was not as good as Seredova's. Stocesova won the Queen of the World competition in Germany, which took place at the same time. The Czech media and public displayed a great deal of interest in the pageants. Marketa Lajdova, Vladimir Vorechovsky/Linda Kholova, Lenka Nejezchlebova FROM SLOVAKIA Kovac to Run for Re-Election Former Slovak President Michal Kovac confirmed his intention to run again for the presidency. "Yes, it is my final decision that I am going to run for re-election as the president of Slovakia," said Kovac November 24. The popular election of the president will be held in the spring. Kovac's sudden decision throws the government's plans into chaos. The government coalition, supported by Kovac during the general elections, has agreed to support Rudolf Schuster, chairman of the coalition's smallest party, the Party of Civic Understanding (SOP). Veronica Macias/Zuzana Janeckova ECONOMY Merger of Pilsener and Radegast Called off The announced merger of the two largest Czech breweries, Pilsener Urquell (Plzensky Prazdroj) and Radegast Nosovice will not happen. Japanese owner Nomura withdrew its third proposal for merger from the Office for the Protection of Economic Competition. Nomura, through IMP Finance, holds a majority in both breweries. In rejecting an earlier merger proposal, the office ordered Nomura to sell its majority in one of the breweries. Nomura is negotiating the sell its 60-per-cent share in Radegast with Holland's Heineken and Britain's Bass.

The exhibit presents a cross-section of Group 42's works, including photographs, paintings and illustrations. The literary and artistic Group 42 was established November 27, 1942. However, its core began to come together in the late 30's around the painters Frantisek Gross and Frantisek Hudecek, sculptor Ladislav Zivr and photographer Miroslav Hak. Originally they intended to form a Surrealist group, but they never came to be. In 1937 Gross, Hudecek, Hak and Jan Kotik and Jiri Kolar were featured in the First Salon in the corridors of the E. F. Burian Theater. The essay The World in Which We Live by critic and theorist Jindrich Chalupecky became the fundamental ideal of Group 42. It expresses the idea that "not only through theme, but also through meaning and goal is art nothing more than the everyday and frightful drama of man and reality." In Group 42's work reality is comprised by the city, its inhabitants, machines and periphery (e. g., the painting Liben Gas Reservoir by Frantisek Gross or The Petrin Observatory by Jan Smetana). Their first exhibition was held in the Nova Paka Gallery November 27, 1942. Painters Kamil Lhotak and Jan Smetana joined as new members then. In 1945 Karel Soucek and youngest member Bohumir Matal joined. Writers Jirina Haukova and poet Jan Hanc were also members. In its brief postwar existence Group 42 exhibited abroad - in Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Liege in 1946 and in Locarno in 1947. The impressions from the journey to Paris also appeared in works of members of Group 42. Group 42's activity came to a close in 1948. The exhibit in the City Library lasts until February 28. Katerina Kolarova/Katerina Kolarova SPORTS Sparta Will Spend Winter in First Place of Soccer League The 15th and last round of the Gambrinus Soccer League autumn session left reigning champion Sparta Praha embedded in first place before the winter break thanks to better ratio between goals scored and allowed. It outstripped autumn's biggest surprise, Teplice. Both teams played their last 1998 matches at home. Sparta defeated Hradec Kralove without much problem, finishing the first half of the season without a loss. Teplice welcomed ambitious Olomouc and defeated it 1-0. The away team finished the match with nine players and with a defender as goalie. Eight minutes before the game ended referee Liba sent off Olomouc goalkeeper Petr Pizanowski for using his hands outside the penalty box. Because coach Milan Boksa had already used all three possible substitutions, he could not send a new goalkeeper on the field. National team defender Milan Kotulek then wore the keeper's gloves and did not allow a goal. Results of the 15th round: Sparta - Hradec Kralove 3-1, Teplice - Olomouc 1-0, Pribram - Liberec 1-0, Ostrava - Opava 1-1, Blsany - Slavia 2-2, Jablonec - Plzen 2-0, Zizkov - Karvina 1-0, Brno - Drnovice 3-2.

Katerina Neumannova provided the best result, winning the 5-kilometer freestyle race in Muonio, Finland. Martin Koukal finished seventh in the 10-kilometer race. Ladislav Rygl got the silver in the nordic combined event in Lillehammer, Norway. He defeated all opponents except the clearly superior winner of the event, Norway's Bjarte Engen Vik. On the contrary, the ski jumpers' performance was a disappointment. They had trouble qualifying for the main competition, Jakub Janda's 17th place in the middle hill event was their best result. Jirka Wazik/Mirek Langer Sarka Kasparkova Jumps for Track and Field Athlete of the Year Title Triple jumper Sarka Kasparkova was proclaimed the queen of the Czech track and field November 26. The reigning world champion won two European silver medals this year: in the Indoor European Championships in Valencia and in outdoors in Budapest. She managed to end the traditional men's domination of the track and field throne, becoming the first woman to win the poll. Her coach, Michal Pogany, won the award as top coach. Runner Helena Fuchsova was a big rival of Kasparkova. She also recorded a very successful season, crowned by a silver medal in the European Championships in Budapest and by participation in the World Cup for the European team as the only Czech in the event. Lukas Vydra finished third, thanks mostly to his bronze in the 800-meter race in the European Championships in Budapest and the Czech record in the same distance. He also won the Discovery of the Year category. According to track and field specialists and sport journalists, pole vaulter Adam Ptacek was the best junior. He managed to win the only medal for the Czech Republic in the junior World Championships in Annecy. Results of the Track and Field Athlete of the Year Poll: 1. Sarka Kasparkova (triple jump) 1,631 points, 2. Helena Fuchsova (400 meters) 1,449, 3. Lukas Vydra (800 meters) 1,239, 4. Tomas Dvorak (decathlon) 1,060, 5. Ludmila Formanova (800 meters) 860, 6. Daniela Bartova (pole vault) 733, 7. Roman Sebrle (decathlon) 627, 8. Tomas Janku (high jump) 407, 9. Andrea Suldesova (1,500 meters) 308, 10. Zuzana Kovacikova-Hlavonova (high jump) 285. Tomas Kohout and Alena Smrzova/Mirek Langer Best Handicapped Athletes Meet in Prague Castle The 10-best handicapped Czech athletes received awards from President Vaclav Havel during the Czech Paralympic Committee celebration in Prague Castle's Spanish Hall November 26. Visually disabled downhill skier Katerina Tepla won the poll. She won three gold and one silver medal in the Winter Paralympic Games in Nagano. The executive presidium of the Czech Paralympic Committee elected 10 deserving athletes without deciding the order. Tepla was accompanied by Radim Beles (track and field), Jolana Davidkova and Martin Zvolanek (table tennis), Ivana Kumpostova, Vera Stillnerova and Lukas Urbanek (swimming), Roman Musil (cycling), Sabina Rogie (downhill skiing), Zdenek Sebek (archery). Katerina Kolarova/Mirek Langer Hockey Extraleague: Slavia in Deep Crisis Slavia Praha found itself in a crisis for the first time this season. Zlin scored 10 goals on Slavia in the 24th round and then Sparta finished them off by deciding the Prague intracity derby by five goals in nine minutes of the first period. "We are in crisis, as soon as we allow a goal our defensive system, which was our pride before, collapses," assistant coach Ladislav Slizek said. The match between Prague teams was attended by 12,000 spectators. Although Trinec remains third in the standings, club management fired coach Alois Hadamczik because of conflicts with general manager Tomas Herstus. Jaroslav Jagr, coach of the French club LKL Grenoble, became Hadamczik's successor. Two goalkeepers managed feats of derring-do as they each assisted a goal - Opava's Pavel Cagas in a game against Ceske Budejovice and Vsetin's Roman Cechmanek in a game against Sparta. Karlovy Vary's gunpowder was evidently wet, as the team failed to score in two consecutive matches, including the western-Bohemian derby against Plzen. On the contrary, Litvinov improved, beating Plzen for the first time in more then three years. Since that game Litvinov's roster has been toughened up by 1985 world champion Miloslav Horava, who played for the Slovak team in Zvolen. Another world champion, Michal Sykora, finished his association with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. He refused a relegation to the club's farm team and the club stopped paying him. He preferred to return home. "We closed a deal with Sparta in five minutes, the other teams really had no chance," Sykora said after signing a four-year contract. Results of the 24th round: Karlovy Vary - Plzen 0-3, Vsetin - Sparta 3-1, Vitkovice - Opava 3-0, Ceske Budejovice - Litvinov 1-1, Jihlava - Trinec 2-1, Pardubice - Kladno 3-1, Slavia - Zlin 5-10. Results of the 25th round: Sparta - Slavia 6-0, Zlin - Vitkovice 3-3, Pardubice - Karlovy Vary 2-0, Opava - Ceske Budejovice 3-2, Trinec - Vsetin 3-2, Kladno - Jihlava 2;2, Litvinov - Plzen 3-2. Pre-played match of the 29th round: Plzen - Trinec 2-2. Standings: 1. Vsetin 37 points, 2. Zlin 35, 3. Trinec 35, 4. Sparta 29, 5. Plzen 29, 6. Ceske Budejovice 28, 7. Karlovy Vary 25, 8. Slavia 24, 9. Pardubice 23, 10. Litvinov 23, 11. Vitkovice 20, 12. Opava 20, 13. Kladno 14, 14. Jihlava 12. Stepan Etrych/Mirek Langer European Hockey League: Czech Teams End Group Play Only one of three Czech teams in the European Hockey League - Sparta Praha - advanced to the quarterfinals. It lost in the last match to Russia's Magnitogorsk 2-3 at home, but it kept first place thanks to better ratio of goals scored and allowed. Two other Czech teams finished in last place in their groups. In their last matches, Jihlava lost to Eisbaren Berlin 2-4 and Litvinov was defeated by Russia's Kazan. Stepan Etrych/Mirek Langer SPORTS IN BRIEF * The Czech men's basketball national team lost 63:79 to Italy, but still remains in third place in group E standings. The qualification match was played in Prague November 29. The team still has a chance to qualify for the final tournament of the European Championships in France in 1999. * The Czech men's handball team completed qualifying play for the World Championships in Egypt in 1999. It tied 22-22 with Norway November 28 in Trebon. After a surprising win by Israel over Turkey, the Czechs remained in second place in the group standings. But only the winner of the group - Norway - will go to the Handball World Championships. * The hit of the 11th round of the top Italian soccer league was the match between two rivals from Rome - Lazio and AS Rome. Pavel Nedved, a Czech national team player who plays for Lazio, faced Czech coach Zdenek Zeman, who coaches AS Rome. Lazio led 3-1 12 minutes before the end, but massive pressure from AS Rome brought two goals in four minutes and the final score was 3-3. Petr Wilfer/Petr Novy WEATHER Advent began over the weekend, but I don't feel like anyone up there was interested in this fact. Instead of sending some snow storms or small snow-gifts to prepare for a white Christmas, there was a thaw throughout the country. And only God knows why the weather was so inconsistent. We had to wait to see some really chilly days with a great frost and about minus 10 degrees Celsius/14 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning, with the temperature rising to the freezing point during the day. And the weather was quite awful for the drivers, who had to combat freezing and icy conditions. "Saint Barbara's day (December 4) with snow and Christmas with mud," claims an old Czech saying. Barbara will not be with snow, but I think that will have only a very small effect on our muddy Czech Christmas.
