I'm in the U.S. now, so I cannot provide complete info, but I know that some of the big companies like Hertz, Avis etc. have offices at the airport in Prague. They asked something like 400-600 Kcs (20 US$) per day. I don't know if they have vans. There are also some local companies (I know one in Bratislava renting Skoda cars). I think PRAGOCAR still exist and it really used to be the only one in CSFR (at least I didn't know any other).

CSURKA SPEAKS OUT AGAIN. The controversial Vice President of the
ruling Hungarian Democratic Forum party, Istvan Csurka, repeated
his extreme views in an interview in the latest edition, 12 October
1992, of the German news-magazine Der Spiegel. Csurka said that his
idea of a Hungarian living space was not equivalent to the German
Lebensraum concept, because his objective was not to expand but to
protect the existing living space of Hungarians. Csurka said that
the Slovak constitution did not recognize the rights of the
Hungarian minority there which suggested that the Hungarian
minority was in danger. Responding to the charge that his views
that because of their alleged links with the Kadar-era nomenklatura
and the international finance and bank world, the Jews were the
eternal and sworn enemy of Hungarians, Csurka said,"this is not
something I have invented but a fact." (Karoly Okolicsanyi,
RFE/RL Inc.)

CZECH PREMIER VISITS FRANCE. On 12 October, Czech Prime Minister
Vaclav Klaus was on a one-day visit to France, where he met with
French officials and opposition leaders. Speaking to journalists
after his meeting with French Prime Minister Pierre Beregovoy,
Klaus said that he had reassured French leaders that the breakup of
Czechoslovakia would be peaceful. After his return from France,
Klaus told CSTK that the possibility to talk to French leaders was
important because "everyone in Western Europe is afraid of the
symptoms that have accompanied the disintegration of former
Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union." (Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc.)

150,000 FOREIGNERS LIVE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA WITHOUT PERMISSION. The
12 October issue of Rude pravo, quoting police sources, said that
150,000 foreigners live in Czechoslovakia without official
permission and another 22,000 have been detained by police trying
illegally to enter Germany. CSTK reported on 12 October that the
Czech Ministry of Internal Affairs had received 1480 applications
for Czech citizenship in the previous six weeks. Fifty-five of the
applicants were citizens of the Slovak Republic. In a related
development, Marian Calfa, a Slovak politician who served as
Czechoslovak Prime Minister from December 1989 to June 1992, said
in an interview published in the 12 October issue of the Prague
daily Blesk that he would probably apply for citizenship of the
Czech Republic.(Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc.)

I do not believe you had to pay that much. Are you sure about the numbers ? 
910 would seem closer to reality to me.

Thanks to Erland again for his indeoendent external
opinion on the Czech & Slovak split. It is true that the
federation has been always compared with a marriage, but
it might not be always applicable to all aspects of it
(what is more complex might be a good question). However I
agree that if there is a will to split then a majority on
one side should be enough to justify it. This week the
meeting of Meciar and Klaus in Jihlava probably meant a
definite decision to split the federation since the last
attempt of creating a union was rejected by both... What I
say is 'Let's take it as it is, and build something
reasonable from now on !', because the arguments and
fruitless discussions are taking too long. The people in
Czecho-Slovakia must already be sick of it (aren't you,
folks?), especoally when the global recession doesn't seem
to skip any country in the world.
There is a lot people can build on the basis that there
are two closely co-operating independent countries. From
my point of view a lot can be learned from BENELUX and
Scandinavia. There is no need to rush into the EEC, the
time will come, central Europe is not to be moved
anywhere...
Thanks for your attention; looking forward to your opinions

Greetings,

I don't know how much it costs to hire a minivan,
but I hired a Skoda from Pragocar for a bit more
than 9100 Crowns for six days.  This includes
insurance for the car, the passangers and free mileage.

The Skoda was not running very well, but when I got to
another city to complain, the didn't have another car,
so I had to drive to Poland and Germany with it.
The fan for the defroster didn't work either, so I
recommend to check the car well when you receive it.

Cars other than Skoda were much more expensive.

(Pragocar = Avis, as far as I could see)

Hope this helps.

CZECH AND SLOVAK GOVERNMENTS AGREE ON CUSTOMS UNION. The two
republican governments met on 10 October near Prague to discuss the
post-Czechoslovak relationship between the Czech Republic and
Slovakia. According to news agencies, Czech and Slovak Prime
Ministers Vaclav Klaus and Vladimir Meciar agreed to introduce a
customs union between the two republics and, at least initially,
keep a common currency. According to a spokesman for the Slovak
government, the two Prime Ministers discussed the possibility of
keeping a single currency until 30 June 1993. Meciar said after the
talks that trade exchanges between the two republics would continue
unhindered after the dissolution of the country. Klaus made it
clear that the setting up of a common market seemed to be "beyond
our technical, organizational, and legislative possibilities" and
that the republics would adopt only partial accords on labor and
capital movement. Representatives of the two governments also said
that while there are no territorial demands between the two
republics, the issue of citizenship remains controversial. The
Slovaks have proposed dual citizenship which Prague has
categorically rejected. All agreements between the governments must
be approved by the respective republican parliaments. (Jan Obrman,
RFE/RL Inc.)

SLOVAK FOREIGN MINISTER DISMISSES COMPLAINTS OF ETHNIC HUNGARIANS.
Slovak Foreign Minister Milan Knazko was quoted by CTSK on 9
October as having said after a meeting with French Foreign Minister
Roland Dumas in Paris that he had never seen a specific example of
abuse of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia. Knazko reportedly told
Dumas that "increasing nationalism from Budapest" had caused
members of Slovakia's ethnic minorities to protest "some sort of
fictitious violations of their rights." He said that minority
demands in Slovakia were aimed at the destruction of the civil
society and the state. (Jan Obrman, RFE/RL Inc.)

The nature of the question itself is necessary to consider; however, 
the idea that there could only be one yes/no question seems overly 
binary. Given the chaotic nature of the current parliamentary and 
political situation, and given the sense (that I've picked up from 
citizens all over Prague, admittedly a small selection) that there is 
a disconnection between the will of the people and the will of Meciar 
and Klaus, there MUST be either a single referendum (which in any even
will be nonbinding, making it in essence a plebiscite) or a 
multiple-choice or serial set of referenda. Otherwise, the 
population's sense that their elected officials are merely trying to 
cement their hold on their own power at the cost of the country's 
integrity. At this point, Klaus and Meciar have been pulling 
powerplays, and the citizens recognize that something's amiss.

Hmmm, I can't help you a lot, but I'll tell you what I know.
There is a company called PRAGOCAR (or used to be?) and they rent cars in CSFR.
I can't recall the rates when we rented one (this was when we used to live
there), but since we could afford it then, it shouldn't be that expensive.

However, I know that a lot of people who travel to CSFR from Canada rent
their vehicles in Vienna, Austria. I believe it's around $300/week (?????)
(please correct me if I'm wrong).  Vienna is only 40km from the border, and
you get better service/insurance/car in Vienna.

That's all I know! (well, I know more, but not about renting cars :-)

Please, someone who knows more (about renting cars) post a message here, since
more travellers may be interested.

9100 crowns is about the same as 500 DM. For this amount you can BUY a used Skoda in Germany, I suppose. A new Skoda Favorit costs 6000 DM in Germany.

These dowry marriages would end if both the young men and women of India tell their parents that he/she does not want/give dowry. 
There was a very interesting discussions going on in alt.culture.kerala about dowry. 
Basically, I feel both men and women should be clear about what they want in a marriage. 
Is it Dowry, wealth, looks , status, ......... that you want? or do you want to marry a human being to share their life with? 
 I am sure many of you would bring up the fact that it is women in the family namely, the mother, grandma, sisters of the groom who really demand Dowry. Let it be so, but aren't you the guy who is going to marry and live with your wife?
