		The elections of new local councils for another four-year term of office throughout the country and for a six-year term of office in 27 Senate election districts were run on 25-26 October and 1-2 November 2002, as decided by the President of the CR on 30 January 2002 (Decision No. 38/2002 Coll.).

	globalinfo.org - Nov 14, CZECH REPUBLIC (#47237)
		Cooperation with the communists is taboo in the Czech Republic, largely due to their failure to apologize for Czechoslovakia's communist regime and to renounce their ideology.
		The Czech political scene is ripe with accusations of corruption going as high as party leaders, claims of manipulation of secret police for political gains, and debates ending in personal insults or even physical aggression.
		What has saved the Czech Republic from a social crisis is the high economic growth, at around 6 percent of Gross Domestic Product, and the increased living standards, which allow for political disillusionment to be coupled with indifference.

	The View from the Czech Republic- Seth Capron
		The idea is gaining supporters in the Czech Republic, but it is not one that has been well received by the American administration of RFE or the American government.
		The Czech government is currently investigating possible relocation sites just outside of Prague and say that such a move would fall within their initial agreement that brought RFE to the city in 1995.
		In the article, Dine says that the Czech government knew the security risks RFE would bring to the city and he alleges that calls for a move are politically motivated, with parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic scheduled for this June.

		Czech Foreign Minister Zieleniec and German counterpart Klaus Kinkel were scheduled to issue a joint statement on improved bilateral relations in January 1996, but could not agree to how to treat the issue of the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans after World War II, still a contentious issue between Germany and the Czech Republic.
		The June 1996 election results are not expected to fundamentally alter the Czech Republic's foreign policy outlook; however, the opposition Social Democrats have favored holding public referenda on joining European economic and security institutions.

		Weekend Senate and local elections in the Czech Republic underscored the relatively little interest Czechs have in their upper chamber of parliament.
		But there is one instance when the Senate plays a crucial role: the election of the Czech president, who is selected by legislators from both chambers of parliament.
		Potential successors are already jockeying for position and the just-completed Senate election makes the alignment of political forces clearer ahead of the presidential vote, although political observers say the outcome remains far from a foregone conclusion.

	The Czech elections to the European Parliament \| European Union Enlargement
		An important source of inspiration for the Czech Republic could be the supplementary EP elections held in 1990 for the new federal states of Germany (former GDR).
		Like the future Czech deputies, the representatives of the new Länder had to become accustomed with the workings of a new institution and overcome the distrust of their colleagues from the old federal states, who saw them as representatives of a "less developed" country.
		In the case that the Czech Republic decided to opt for that, it will be necessary to decide on the criteria for the selection of observers and their financing.
