SVU Member Wins Senatorial Seat

Run-off in Czech Senate by-elections for the Znojmo constituency has resulted in victory for Milan Spacek, candidate for the Christian Democrats, who got 53 percent. He won against Civic Democrat Jaroslav Parik.

MUDR. Milan Spacek has been SVU member ever since he attended the SVU Conference in Belton, Texas in 12-13 July 1997, in his previous capacity as Chairman of the Senate Permanent Committee for Relations with Czechs Abroad. Currently, he holds the post of Undersecretary in the Czech Ministry of Health.

On behalf of the Executive Board, I wish to extend Senator MUDR. Spacek our heartiest congratulations

Mila Rechcigl
SVU President
