CZECHS AND SLOVAKS DEFINE FUTURE ECONOMIC RELATIONS.  Meeting in
Zidlochovice on 9 November, the Czech and Slovak governments
reached eight agreements, most of them defining economic relations
between the Czech Republic and Slovakia after the dissolution of
Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993. Following the meeting, Czech
Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus told reporters that a draft accord had
been reached on good-neighborly relations and cooperation between
the two republics. Other agreements included those on preventing
double taxation, on the protection of investment, and on
cooperation in the areas of communications, agriculture, and
transportation.  CSTK reports that the two sides agreed to launch
tax reforms on 1 January 1993. The agreement calls for the
republics to have the same tax system. The two governments also
reached an accord on the division of the Czechoslovak army and
agreed on general principles that will be used in dividing the
federation's assets.  Klaus told reporters that Czechoslovakia
would not sign an agreement this year on free trade between
Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary.  The agreement would be signed
by the leaders of the Czech Republic and Slovakia after 1 January.

VACLAV KLAUS REELECTED CHAIRMAN OF THE CIVIC DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus was overwhelmingly reelected
chairman of the Civic Democratic Party at the group's third party
congress on 7 November, Czechoslovak Television reported. Klaus,
who was unopposed, received 333 out of a possible 350 votes. Klaus
was a founding member of the CDP in early 1991 and served as its
chairman ever since; he led the party to a decisive election
victory in the June 1992 elections. In his address to the congress,
Klaus urged continued party unity.  He said the CDP needs to
demonstrate to the public that it has the ability to carry through
the transformation of the Czech Republic to democracy and a market
economy.  (Jan Obrman, RFE/RL, Inc.)
