ABSTRACT:
The paper deals with the development of the political process in the Czech Republic in the first post-communist decade. It is characterized by a special struggle between two biggest political parties, which surprisingly for the Czech society made a political deal – “Agreement on the Creation of a Stable Political Environment in the Czech Republic”, signed by the Czech Social-Democratic Party and the Civic Democratic Party. Other parties considered this agreement to be a “deception of voters” and during the course of the election campaign severely criticized both “pro-communist” social-democrats and “entirely corrupted” civic democrats. The above mentioned period was characterized by controversial, complicated and ambiguous development, but the outcomes are clear – transformation of the Czech Republic into a stable European country with a well-established market economy and sustainable political system.
