		The probability of a direct military attack against the Czech Republic has been reduced and is not going to be topical over the next 10 to 15 years; however, it cannot be, just like the escalation of other security risks and their development into threats, ruled out completely.
		Military Police is a fully professional element of the Army of the Czech Republic, whose duty is to provide police protection to armed forces and state-owned property managed or maintained by the Ministry of Defence.
		Threats which the Czech Republic is likely to face in the 21st century can be reduced by military activities in the framework of the Alliance and efforts aimed at reducing the number of risks and threats to the country.

	Nato Review
		Indeed, the Czech Republic is often presented as a role model for other countries seeking to transform their own defence sector.
		The military was, for example, reluctant to give up the idea of territorial defence against threats from all sides and insisted on maintaining a full spectrum of capabilities for that purpose.
		Even the national security and military strategy reviews, that were approved just a few weeks before the Czech Republic joined NATO in March 1999, largely ignored the opportunity that NATO membership offered, such as identifying niches and focusing on developing specialised, higher-value-added capabilities for the Alliance’s multinational forces.

		The Czechs lost their national independence to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1620 at the Battle of White Mountain and, for the next 300 years, were ruled by the Austrian Monarchy.
		The Czech Republic has a well educated population and a well developed infrastructure, but its industrial plants and much of its industrial equipment tend to be obsolete.
		The republic's economic transformation is far from complete--the government still faces serious challenges in transforming the housing sector, privatizing the health care system, solving serious environmental problems, and helping newly privatized state-owned companies adjust to the rigors of free-market competition.

	RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY
		Czech journalist Jan Gazdik, an expert on defense issues, interviewed Tvrdik for "Mlada fronta Dnes" and mostly agrees with his evaluation, although he notes that Tvrdik may have chosen his words for effect, at a time when politicians seem more inclined to focus their attention on the armed forces than they have in the past.
		Gazdik cites several reasons for the perilous state of the Czech military: first, the lack of long-range planning reflected by the constant switching of defense ministers since the Czech Republic emerged from the defunct Czechoslovakia at the start of 1993.
		Both at the political and the military level, decisions on the long-term future of the army are only now being made, and their implementation will necessitate much effort, money, and determination.

		Military support for democratically elected governments in the states emerging from communism in eastern Europe and elsewhere is critically important to the survival of the new democracies.
		Building on the work of Samuel Huntington and others on the relationship between the military and the state, the author suggests that norms of military professionalism must change if the armies in countries making a transition from communist rule are to become strong supporters of the democratic state.
		The Czech Republic and Russia are interesting cases, because they have had very different experiences in the transition they have different geopolitical goals and they experienced different military-civilian relationships during the Soviet period.
