A new poll released by the STEM agency asking Czechs to rate
contributions by Czech politicians over the last 16 years has rated
Presidents Vaclav Havel,Vaclav Klaus, as well as the late culture
minister, Pavel Dostal, highly. Mr Dostal lost his battle to cancer
last year. Each of the three received more than 60 percent positive
response from around 1,500 people queried. Politicians rated least
favourably in the poll included former prime ministers Vladimir Spidla
and Stanislav Gross.
