Czech infant mortality rate record low in 2007

Last year, 114,632 live births were registered in the 10-million country and only 360 infants died before the age of 12 months, including 218 baby boys and 142 baby girls.

Most of the infants died in the first week after birth - 143. Only 235 of them died by the fourth week of their life.

The most frequent causes of death were respiratory diseases, bleeding, and haematological disorders.

Along with some Scandinavian countries, Spain and Slovenia, the Czech Republic has been one of the European countries with the lowest infant mortality rate.

In 2006, the mortality rate was 3.3 per 1000 live births, or only slightly higher.

Rychetsky said he was not able to tell how long the judges would be discussing the treaty.

He said the expects the court to concentrate on the seven passages against which a complaint was filed.

He added that in such a case both the president and parliament would have the right to again complain with the court after the possible end of the ratification process.

The Senate, dominated by the senior ruling Civic Democrats (ODS), asked the court to check the treaty’s compatibility with the Czech constitution in April.

Havel indicated that Georgia does not belong in the Euro-Atlantic region and therefore in NATO and the EU.

Georgia that had an armed conflict with Russia in the past weeks would like to join NATO, same as Ukraine.

The EU and NATO should know where they begin and end, and, based on these borders, develop partner relations with other entities, Havel said.

“History shows us that where the borders are unclear and uncertain, wars start,” Havel warned.

“The Alliance should clearly say which countries can belong into its circle and tell the others: sorry, you belong elsewhere,” Havel said.

“When a bear attacks a dwarf, it should at least be known and said,” Havel said.

Havel said he believed the Czech cabinet at first took a good stance, but then it seemed to backpedal, saying one should not deal with who is to blame, but to concentrate on the future.

The Czech government promotes Georgia’s territorial integrity, it condemned Russia’s recognition of the independence of two Georgian breakaway regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and it wants to concentrate on the reconstruction of Georgia.

Havel said Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was partly provoked to try to solve the situation in South Ossetia by separatist armed groups.

Kde domov m??j?

I always found it quite funny that the main verse of the Czech nationalanthem, Kde domov m??j is not a statement – where my home is, but rathera question, where is my home? It seemed a perfect question for a son ofCzech parents who immigrated to Britain before I was born. When I wassmall, I knew that my parents had come from another country to the onewhere we lived and where all my friends were from, but often found itdifficult to understand. “We can’t be there, because some bad thingshave happened” was the simplistic answer given to an inquisitive child.Yet, at home we would speak Czech and eat …
