We have a presidential election coming up at the beginning of next year. The
campaigns are now getting underway, but many Czechs don’t even think about the
successor of the current head of state, or leave their decision to the last
minute. In an exclusive interview, we asked Jan Tuček, director of the renowned
Czech research agency STEM/MARK, how he sees the presidential election
and more.

Turkey is the land of mosques, Cappadocia, ancient monuments, kebabs and
beaches. Yes, undoubtedly these and much more. But that description falls short
of the mark for a country with such breathtaking landscapes, great cuisine and
an endless array of alluring forms.

After two years of postponement, this September we will finally witness the
premiere of the most expensive Czech film in history, a magnificent historical
work with the telling title Jan Žižka (entitled Medieval outside of the CR).
Žižka was brought to life by former Olympian Petr Jákl, who refashioned his
experience in judo into a successful career in the field of film production. How
he went from being a professional athlete to a director, how he chooses the
themes of his other projects, and how he worked with the legendary Sir Michael
Caine, he revealed in an exclusive interview with DOCK.

"When I first arrived in Italy’s Dolomite Alps 30 years ago, I was
flabbergasted. I was so impressed by the power, omnipresence and bizarre shapes
of rock towers, summits, peaks, in short, every inch of this incredible
landscape. When I came here for the third time, I was frustrated by my
inability to capture and take with me at least fragments of the unending mosaic
of curious phenomena, images and natural scenery. By my seventh visit, I was
thrilled that I could actually grasp the uniqueness of these mountains within
the scale of the entire Alps. When I was here for the twelfth time, I was
surprised that these mountains still had something to offer me, they still
inspire in me an immense aesthetic feeling and a sense of satisfaction. And
I keep coming here, because for me, it's a kind of Diagnosis of the
Dolomites.”

valuable Czech startup about anything you might be interested in. This makes the

Island empires essentially exude the magic of diversity, but not every island
can offer as much density of natural and cultural gems as Madeira. The slopes of
this volcanic island, rising almost 2,000 m in elevation, have eroded into
bizarre, jagged ridges between the ravines of gorges and valleys, and the
tropical climate features a backdrop of laurel and eucalyptus forests and
numerous, gorgeous waterfalls. Christopher Columbus already knew the beauty of
Madeira. He fell in love not only with its wealth, but also with the daughter of
the governor of the neighboring island of Porto Santo. And his successors today
have recognized the tourist potential of the place, while wise policies ensured
that its nature remained untouched except for inhabited coastal areas. They also
created a friendly and comfortable environment for all lovers of extraordinary
experiences. You will also find something unique in the world here: the over
1000-km network of “levadas” – aqueducts or water channels, enabling
tourists to penetrate the very bosom of an otherwise completely inaccessible
jungle. Add to this the Madeiran cuisine, wine, rum and goodness of all kinds.
You too are invited.
