==========================PRESS DIGEST========================
EARLY ELECTION: Some deputies from the biggest parties are
against dissolving parliament as a way toward an early election,
given the risk the move will be challenged in the Constitutional
Court, similar to a previous attempt to hold early polls.
Hospodarske Noviny, page 5
CZECH COMMISSIONER: Europe Minister Stepan Fuelle said the
delay in elections should speed up the selection of the new
Czech EU commissioner.

CZECH AIRLINES: It seems more likely that the government
does not expect the airline privatisation to go ahead, given its
poor economic condition. A new head of the supervisory board
said the company would go insolvent in months without
restructuring.

CEZ CONTRACT: Power firm CEZ <CCEZPsp.PR> gave a contract to
build a temporary spent nuclear fuel deposit, a strategically
important facility, to a company with unclear owners offering
double the cost of what similar facilities cost in Germany. CEZ
said the little-known firm was the only bidder.
