Good news! As it is stated in www.krajane.net, ” Czechs who acquired a new citizenship via marrying a foreigner, still have the right to keep their Czech citizenship”. This decision was released by the Supreme Court (NSS) in 2003. The NSS judge, Lenka Kaniova, explains their decision accordingly: “Novelties such as the European citizenship, globalization and today’s integrated trends lead the world toward a new outlook on the issue of dual citizenship”. Despite this decision, the Czech courts are still overflowing with cases futuring dual citizenship issues. Those people, however, received the additional citizenship before the new law was implemented.

CZ: Dobra zprava! Jak nas informuje www.krajane.net, “Cesi, kteri se v dobe manzelstvi s cizincem stali obcany jine zeme maji i pote narok na ceske obcanstvi”. Toto rozhodnuti bylo vydano Nejvyssim spravnim soudem (NSS) v roce 2003. Soudkyne NSS lenka Kaniova ospravedlnuje jejich rozhodnuti tim, ze dnesni “fenomeny jako evropske obcanstvi a globalizacni a integracni trendy obecne vedou ke zmene pohledu na dvoji obcanstvi”. Ceske soudni sine jsou ale bohuzel stale preplnene radou sporu o statni obcanstvi, ktera vznikla v doble platnosti stareho zakona.

The number one deadly diseases such as cancer and coronary illnesses are still a acting out int the Czech Republic but the number of patients dying from them has been decreasing. That’s because the prevention care as well as the quality of medical treatments have greatly improved. The heart surgeries are now available to all people in need, they simply just have to call the hospital in time. The Czech cardiological community also treats the Slovak patients since Slovakia has only 2 Cardiology centrers in the country where as the Czech Republic has 33 of them. The number of transplantations of the heart increased from 34 (in 1993) to 57 (in 2006). Since 2003 the doctors also use the so-called “mechanical heart” which has decreased the heart-related deaths to 1/3 (people don’t have to wait for their donor anymore). What remains to be a problem? The inappropriate way the actual doctors treat their patients. (more…)

Everyone knows that the Czechs like their coffee. What is their current relationship to tea though? During communism it was hard to develop any kind of a relationship with this beverage since there were only two kind of black teas: the Pigi and the Klub brands - both equally disgusting. After the wall came down, however, the tea business together with other “western goodies” started to flourish. The first tea room in the Czech Republic called “Dobra Cajovna” was built in 1993 right on Venceslav Square in Prague. The owners - back in 1987 - established kind of a half-secret club of tea lovers where they tried to smuggle various teas from Hungary, East Germany or England. (more…)
