Opening Message Opening Message Dear Readers, You have in your hands the fifth Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic, which was prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and summarises the Czech foreign policy in 2003. You can see how the Czech diplomacy put into practice the Concept of Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic for 2003 – 2006, which the government approved in March 2003, and how it conducted itself in the overall context of international affairs. On 17 April 2003 the Czech Republic signed the Treaty of Accession to the European Union. In the following referendum, the majority of citizens of the country supported EU accession. One of the priority tasks of Czech foreign policy since the 1989 revolution is thus nearing fruition. Our active participation in sessions of the Council of the European Union and in the preparation of the European Union’s Constitutional Treaty and our constructive work at sessions of the Intergovernmental Conference in 2003 have already demonstrated that we would be a worthy member of the EU. We have also been working on two other foreign policy priorities: strengthening Euro- Atlantic ties and furthering friendly relations with our neighbours; these relations are indeed very positive and friendly. The Czech Republic honoured its commitments stemming from NATO membership and put great effort into the war the international community is waging on international terrorism. On the multilateral forum, the Czech Republic successfully completed its presidency of the 57th General Assembly of the United Nations. This publication brings information on these and many other aspects of Czech foreign policy during 2003.

  • 1997 Sundance Film Festival Awards Jurors
    1997 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL The 1997 Sundance Film Festival continued to attract crowds, international attention and an appreciative group of alumni fi lmmakers. Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.

  • Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic 2002
    Introduction In the international arena, the Czech Republic strives to act as a democratic and politically, economically and socially stable Central European country, pursuing not only its own particular interests but also assuming its share of responsibility for the development of Europe and the entire international community. The international environment in which the Czech Republic pursues its foreign policy is a product of the interaction of a number of factors – sovereign countries, associations of countries at different levels of integration in international organisations and institutions, and non-governmental entities, ranging from non- governmental organisations to various non-transparent lobbying groups not respecting the rules of international relations, including organised crime groups and terrorist organisations. The role, import and influence of these factors fluctuate, often within a very short time span. Following the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the bi-polar world, and as a result of changes in the security environment, the intensification of globalisation processes, the liberalisation of the global economy, the increasing mutual dependence of countries, and the accelerating development of science and technology, there has been significant growth in the importance of multilateral co-operation within the framework of international organisations and integration groupings. At the same time, in the face of new threats posed by certain non- transparent entities, and terrorist organisations in particular, all international mechanisms designed to protect against such dangerous phenomena are rapidly gaining in importance. The Czech Republic, as a country which, by size and population, ranks among medium- sized countries in the European area, and as a country with an open economy, a high proportion of exports and services in the generation of its gross domestic product, and with limited natural resources, is markedly dependent on international co-operation.

Hana's Jewish heritage precipitates her fall from the height of her career to the bottom of the social ladder. In order to protect her, Emil compromises himself, collaborating with the new Nazi- controlled state radio station. Conditions worsen as restrictions on Jews are systematically increased. The assassination of the Third Reich Deputy Protector and a chance encounter on a bicycle bring their malingering marriage to a crisis.
