“I regret the Czech government’s decision not to proceed with the adoption of the law allowing the granting of compensation to the Roma women who were victims of forced sterilisations,” said today Nils Muižnieks, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, making public a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Mr Bohuslav Sobotka on 6 October 2015.
The involuntary sterilisation of Roma women without their full and informed consent has been a persistent problem in the Czech Republic. In his 2011 report, the previous Commissioner for Human Rights, while welcoming the expression of regret by the Czech authorities for this unlawful practice, deplored the lack of an effective domestic mechanism to enable victims to seek and obtain compensation for the harm they had suffered. According to the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, such practices violate the human freedom and dignity of the victims, thus constituting serious human rights violations and therefore governments are obliged to establish accessible and effective mechanisms to obtain reparations.
Commissioner Muižnieks was informed that earlier this year, the Czech authorities prepared a new bill allowing a review of individual claims of involuntarily sterilised women to receive compensation. “I believe that this piece of legislation, if adopted, has the potential, even belatedly, to provide adequate redress to the Roma women who were victims of forced sterilisations,” said the Commissioner.
US ambassador barred from Prague Castle by Czech president - BBC News
▻http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32189757
Czech President Milos Zeman has said the US ambassador is not welcome at his Prague Castle residence, reports say.
The apparent snub follows remarks by US envoy Andrew Schapiro seen as critical of the president’s decision to attend forthcoming World War Two commemorations in Moscow.
(…)
“I cannot imagine that the Czech ambassador in Washington would advise the US president where he should travel. And I will not allow any ambassador to have a say in my foreign travel plans.”
(…)
Mr Schapiro is quoted by Czech media as having said in March that it would “be awkward” if the Czech president was the only statesman from an EU country on the platform on Red Square.

Czech PM Not Opposing President’s Disputed Russian Trip - NYTimes.com

Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka says he is not opposing the president’s trip to Moscow, the subject of Milos Zeman’s dispute with the U.S. ambassador.
…mesuré, mais soutien quand même.
After meeting Zeman Wednesday, Sobotka said Soviet soldiers sacrificed their lives while liberating most of Czechoslovakia in World War II and “it’s appropriate to honor them.”
Sobotka, whose government is in charge of foreign policy, said that doesn’t mean his government would change its critical view of Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia want to jointly deal with red tape related to the use of EU subsidies, gas deliveries from Russia and sanctions against Russia over the crisis in Ukraine this year, the prime ministers of the three countries said today.
Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann and Czech and Slovak PMs, Bohuslav Sobotka and Robert Fico want to achieve an improvement in the relations between their neighboring countries.
The prime ministers, who are all leaders of socialist parties, plan to meet once a year. The next meeting will be held in Slovakia.
Sobotka said the prime ministers would every year agree on main issues with which they would be dealing together.
He said other issues on which the Austrian, Czech and Slovak politicians decided to jointly focus are the transport infrastructure, protection of employees in EU countries, education of young people and their position on the labor market.
Commentator Daniel Anýž writes in daily Hospodářské noviny (HN) today that the Czech center-left government that formed one year ago seems to prefer Austria to Poland.
The Poles, who form the Visegrad Group (V4) along with the Czechs, Hungarians and Slovaks, are pro-American and active in NATO, while Austria is neutral and open to Russia, Anýž says.
