		Zeman will change his mind or whether he will be substituted by one of his party rivals remains to be seen.

	Central Europe Review - Milos Zeman and the Czech Media
		Zeman is actually not under many delusions when it comes to his opinion of the state of the Czech media: a good slice of it is amateurish and corrupt.
		Zeman can say another journalist was on the take from the energy monopoly to write favourable articles on nuclear power.
		In fact, Zeman can say anything he likes, but aside from a few libel actions, nothing will ever come of it, because Zeman has as much hard evidence of corruption in the Czech media as I have: zilch.

		The highest number of votes was cast for the former chairman of CSSD, Milos Zeman, although he had made clear his intentions to withdraw from politics for good (he had resigned as party chairman in the spring of 2002 and went into retirement after the elections).
		Zeman declared that he would not stand in the first round, however, should the first round not succeed—in other words if a President was not elected—he would be willing to stand in the second round.
		But neither Klaus nor Zeman share Havel's view and advocate a "more realistic approach." In last year's parliamentary elections the communists received a little more than 18 percent of the votes of the electorate and their deputies account for one-fifth of the total number in Parliament.

	TIME Europe \| Czech Republic: What's to Celebrate? \| 11/29/99
		Yet Zeman calls his minority government, which depends on Klaus for support, a "success," pointing to a slight pickup in GDP growth and foreign investment as well as unemployment decreasing by a fraction last month.
		After Zeman delivered his annual government report to the parliament on July 1, Klaus' Civic Democrats joined other opposition parties to declare that "the activities of the government are harmful to the Czech Republic." But when there was a call for a no-confidence vote, the Civic Democrats balked.
		Zeman's problems stem not only from his government's tenuous minority position and its relative inexperience but also from his uneasy relationship with the media and the party's inability to steer clear of scandals similar to those that led to Klaus' humiliating fall from power in late 1997.

		President Havel said Mr Zeman, who is expected to have difficulty forming a coalition after a surprisingly strong showing by the right, had accepted the invitation.
		Mr Zeman is expected to seek parliamentary backing for a minority administration with the centre-left Christian Democrats but if this fails, President Havel could give the former conservative prime minister, Vaclav Klaus, a chance to form a coalition.
		Mr Zeman has fallen well short of a majority in parliament, and a government led by him would need the tacit backing of the Communists to survive, even if he forms a coalition with the small, centrist Christian Democratic Party.

		Zeman, a divisive force within his own party, would weaken Spidla and possibly champion the breakup of the government because of his distaste for the Freedom Union.

		Zeman said he would only run in a second election, embarrassing Spidla and forcing him to field a candidate who had little support in Parliament.
