ROUND TABLE OF COMENIUS
WITH MVDR. JOSEF ŘIHÁK, GOVERNOR OF CENTRAL BOHEMIA REGION AND JUDR. MARTIN NETOLICKÝ, PHD., GOVERNOR OF PARDUBICE REGION
The first Round Table of Comenius in 2014 was an intense discussion with two regional Governors; Mr. Josef Řihák, Governor of Central Bohemia Region and Mr. Martin Netolický, Governor of Pardubice Region. Throughout the engaging discussion both politicians commented on the distinctiveness of regional management and they also touched upon crucial subjects such as obtaining funding from the regional operational programme of the EU, establishing schools and hospitals, social security and also growing unemployment and criminality. Governor Řihák reminded all participants that the Central Bohemia Region is still dealing with the consequences of the 2013 floods and that the cooperation with the State Environmental Fund has been of great help in this matter. Governor Netolický then discussed budget planning of the Pardubice region and he also expressed a great interest in integrating regional projects into a wider Czech and European context. Both Governors concluded the extensive discussion by noting that not just Pardubice and Central Bohemia Regions but that all Czech regional governments are open and looking forward to new dialogues with other political sectors and with the new Czech government.
