VISAS The European Union and the Czech government reached an agreement April 18 allowing the Czech Republic to continue bilateral talks with the United States regarding visa waivers, Lidové noviny (LN) reported. EU interior ministers agreed to allow the European Commission to negotiate visa-free U.S. travel for all EU states. EU officials had previously criticized Czech-U.S. talks, concerned the deal might give too much access to the personal data of EU travelers.

NO-VOTE The April 20 nationwide congress of the Christian Democratic Party revealed deep-seated internal disputes, the Czech News Agency (ČTK) reported. Failing to elect a new leadership, the congress strayed from focusing on the party’s official program, instead fixating on the political atmosphere in the party and divisive issues.
CONFIDENCE The opposition Social Democrats plan to propose a parliamentary vote of confidence in the government coalition in early May, LN reported. A minimum of 50 deputy signatures are needed to enable the vote, which should not be a problem, as the Social Democratic Party alone has 71 members in Parliament.
CRASH Police finished investigating the large crash on the main east-west highway that took place in March, ČTK reported April 21. In total 231 cars were involved in the pile-up, three people had serious injuries and the total damage was 27.8 million Kč ($1.8 million). Speeding was determined to be the cause of the crash.
FLOODS Half of the north Moravian village of Nové Heřminovy near Bruntál will be underwater, when goverment plans are completed to build a dam to prevent extensive flooding similar to the one that afflicted the area in 1997. Homeowners should receive attractive compensation, according to Agriculture Minister Petr Gandalovič in an April 21 ČTK report.
