The historical city is a unique symbiosis of all architectural styles: from Gothic towers, Renaissance palaces, Baroque churches through to Art Nouveau structures and the collaborative work of Frank O. Gehry and Vladimir Milunic. Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, home to nearly 1.2 million residents. Since 1992, the historic center of Prague has been Prague Old Town Square included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Statue of Jan Hus Sites. Nicknames for Prague include "city of a hundred spires” and "the golden city.” Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has become one of Europe's (and the world's) most popular tourist destinations. It is the most visited European city after London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin.

The history of the castle stretches back to the 9th century and the complex of buildings represent virtually every architectural style of the last millennium. The Prague Castle includes the gothic St Vitus Cathedral, Romanesque basilica of St. George, a monastery and several palaces, gardens and defense towers. Most of the castle areas are opened to tourists. The castle houses several museums. The Spanish Hall One of the most beautiful state rooms at the Prague Castle is the Spanish Hall. It was built in the 17th century for Emperor Rudolph II., who had his collection of sculptures there. Nowadays, the room is a place of many important political and social events. For example, the classic music festival Strings of Autumn takes place there.The Spanish Hall got its name because of highbred Spanish horses stables that used to be below it. The size of the hall is impressive: it is 43 metres long, 21 meters wide and 12 meters high. It was built in the beginning of the 17th century probably by Giovanni Maria Filippi.

(9:00 AM in Prague is 3:00 AM in Washington, D.C.) Electricity In the Czech Republic, the electricity is 220 VAC. The use of a transformer is required for all 110VAC appliances. Currency The local currency is the Czech Koruna or Crown; the Czech symbol "Kč", international symbol "CZK". You may check at the hotel for the official exchange rate, which is at just above CZK 20 to USD 1. It is recommended to exchange currency at a bank. Czech currency can be with withdrawn from numerous ATMs (in Czech "bankomat") located throughout the city, using your U.S. debit or credit card. Tipping Common practice is to tip up to 10%, depending on the level of service. Crime The Czech Republic generally has a low rate of crime. However, street crime – particularly pick-pocketing – is a problem, especially in major tourist areas in Prague. Travelers are encouraged to be especially vigilant in Prague’s restaurants, train stations and on public transportation around the city center. Visitors should be alert to the potential for substantial overcharging by taxis, particularly in areas frequented by tourists. Radio-dispatched taxis are often much more reliable.

Over the next few centuries, many buildings of Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic styles were erected around the market. The Old Town Square is one of two main squares in Prague's city centre (the other is Wenceslas Square). Its most notable sights are the twin spires of the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, the Old Town Hall Tower and Astronomical Clock. The Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral (Pražský hrad a katedrála sv. Víta) The Prague Castle is the most popular tourist sight in Prague. It is the largest ancient castle in the world (570 m long, on average 128 m wide, area 7.28 hectares). Constructed in the 9th century by Prince Bořivoj, the castle transformed itself from a wooden fortress surrounded by earthen bulwarks to the imposing form it has today. Prague castle has had four major reconstructions, but it has kept the classical facelift it took on in the 18 century during the reign of Maria Theresa. The castle has three courtyards and it has always been the seat of Czech rulers as well as the official residence. Allow at least half a day (not including time for museum visits) if you want to examine it in depth. Seated within the Castle walls is the Gothic cathedral of St. Vitus, the spiritual symbol of the Czech state. Begun in 1344 by Mathias Arras and Petr Parler upon the site of a 10th century rotunda, the final phase of construction ended only during 1873-1929. The cathedral contains underground tombs of Czech kings. Parler also built St. Wenceslas Chapel where the coronation jewels are deposited. The chapel is decorated with frescoes and semi-precious stones. The Charles Bridge (Karlův most) Prague's 13th century Charles Bridge throngs with people, but it is lovely. Try early morning for a less crowded walk, or go at night for a lovely view of the Prague skyline, dominated by the magnificent Prague Castle. It is the main pedestrian route linking the Old Town with the Page 8 NEW START TREATY SIGNING BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION / PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC / APRIL 8, 2010 PRESS GUIDE Prague Castle itself. King Charles IV's favorite architect and builder, Peter Parler, built the present day Charles Bridge. The initial idea was to build a functional construction for knight tournaments, and for many years the only decoration on the bridge was a simple crucifix. Thirty religious statues were erected between 1600 and 1800.

  • Sub-Saharan Africa in Czech Foreign Policy
    CHAPTER 15 Chapter 15 Sub-Saharan Africa in Czech Foreign Policy Ondřej Horký-Hlucháň and Kateřina Rudincová FROM AN INTEREST IN AFRICA TO INTERESTS IN AFRICA?1 Back to Africa, but too late. This was the conclusion of the chapter devoted to Czech foreign policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa in the Yearbook of Czech Foreign Policy of the Institute of International Relations in 2012.2 Last year’s yearbook asserted that Czech foreign policy – in spite of budgetary austerity measures – had bounced off the bottom and attempted a “return to Africa”, which was, however, coming with a con- siderable delay. In 2013, this trend continued, characterized by the effort to deepen relations with traditional African partners, establish new relations or re-establish re- lations that had been put on ice. This effort was manifested in a 7% growth of Czech exports to the region. In a situation when the economic recession is still being felt in Europe, while Africa is experiencing record levels of economic growth, the awareness of the importance and possibilities of the African economy is growing faster than the crisis-struck foreign-policy tools of the Czech Republic may react. Most importantly, however, this interest in Africa is beginning to be felt by wider segments of Czech so- ciety, not merely the foreign policy actors, but gradually also foreign policy makers. It affects not only the media, but also the very companies that are seeking to expand their markets. The imported, but largely well-founded “Africa on the rise” fashion was, for example, also reflected in the employment of the term Emerging Africa in the names of both of the large and abundantly attended events organized by the MFA in 2013 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Pan-African organization on the opportunities for Czech business on the African continent.

One of the products of this situation has been the phenomenon of caretaker governments. This article analyses why political elites have resorted to this solution, and discusses how this has reflected an older Czech tradition. Two cases of such governments are analysed in detail. The Tosˇovsky´ government was characterised by the ability of the Czech president to advance his agenda through this government at a time when the party elites were divided. The Fischer government was characterised by the considerably higher role of parties that shaped and limited the agenda of the cabinet, and the president played a more static role.

  • Důvěru Členům Vlády Projevuje Polovina Občanů. to Je Na České Poměry Hodnota Velmi Vysoká
    INFORMACE Z VÝZKUMU STEM TRENDY 2/2010 VYDÁNO DNE 9.3.2010 ČLENŮM VLÁDY ČR DŮVĚŘUJE POLOVINA OBČANŮ, PREMIÉRA CHVÁLÍ SKORO VŠICHNI. Důvěru členům vlády projevuje polovina občanů. To je na české poměry hodnota velmi vysoká. Úřednický kabinet se těší podpoře spíše pravicově orientovaných občanů a jeho kredit nepochybně souvisí s velmi příznivým hodnocením několika klíčových ministrů. Naprosto mimořádné je postavení premiéra Jana Fischera (89 % kladných hodnocení), příznivá hodnocení zřetelně převažují i u dalších známých a výrazných ministrů vlády (Eduard Janota, Martin Pecina, Jan Kohout, Daniela Kovářová). Citované výsledky pocházejí z výzkumu STEM provedeného na reprezentativním souboru obyvatel České republiky starších 18 let, který se uskutečnil ve dnech 15.–22. 2. 2010. Respondenti byli vybíráni metodou kvótního výběru. Na otázky odpovídal rozsáhlý soubor 1240 respondentů. V září loňského roku důvěřovalo členům vlády 44 % procent lidí a v současnosti se tento podíl zvýšil přesně na polovinu. To je hodnota v dějinách českých vlád nebývalá. "Důvěřujete následujícím institucím? – Členové vlády ČR."

Důvěra v členy Špidlova kabinetu vydržela však jen několik měsíců, během dalšího půl roku následoval pád na obvyklou úroveň pod 40 %.

  • The Incomprehensible Flow of Roma Asylum-Seekers from the Czech Republic and Hungary to Canada Judit Tóth November 2010
    The Incomprehensible Flow of Roma Asylum-Seekers from the Czech Republic and Hungary to Canada Judit Tóth November 2010 Abstract This working paper analyses the flow of Roma migrants, in particular asylum-seekers, from the Czech Republic and Hungary to Canada in 1996–2010. Although the fate of the Roma is at the centre of events, statistics on asylum applications along with an interpretation of the history of migration issues, from the perspectives of both international relations and EU policy, illustrate the classical debate on state sovereignty versus universal or at least European solidarity. They reflect the debate on the binding human rights of fragile groups versus security preconditions and prejudices. This amalgam of migration, visa and asylum policies has affected the lives of Roma and their efforts to achieve equal treatment, integration and citizenship in their country of residence as well as their homeland. This work was prepared as part of a project on Migration and Asylum in Europe and EU- Canada Relations, funded by the European Commission, Directorate-General for External Relations, Relations with the US and Canada. The project studies EU-Canada cooperation on migration and asylum policies. It aims at providing a better understanding of the conceptual, political, sociological and legal elements and dilemmas characterising the development of common European public responses to these issues, and their implications for the relationship between liberty and security in EU-Canada relations. The CEPS ‘Liberty and Security in Europe’ publication series offers the views and critical reflections of CEPS researchers and external collaborators on key policy discussions surrounding the construction of the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.

It analyses some of the key characteristics of Czech ministers in the period from 1993 till 2018: we focus mainly on education and carriers before and after the office. The first goal is to identify reservoir pools from which Czech ministers tend to be recruited. The second is to apply a new typology based on Blondel’s distinction between specialists and generalists, combined with the distinction between politicians and technocrats. Individual governments are then compared based on the relative representation of each of these types of ministers. Key words: ministers; government; politicians; technocrats, specialists; generalists; Czech politics Úvod V historii samostatné České republiky se do doby napsání předloženého textu vystřídalo 15 vládních sestav, 12 premiérů a celkem 314 členů vlád.
