Elected by majority of 54% voters, the former leftist prime minister have already announced that he will use his direct mandate to put pressure on \u00a0current highly unpopular right-wing government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Milo\u0161 Zeman is a firm believer advocating for the national interests and values which he embodies in talking as a pro-israeli neocon advocating bombing of Iran nuclear capabilities and defender who thinks that EU and Russia should associate in future fight against threat of radical political Islam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Opposing his predecessor &#8211; europhobic V\u00e1clav Klaus, the former social democrat admiring Scandinavian economic models calls himself a eurofederalist. His vision of European integration contains sovereign states sharing security and foreign policy, nevertheless fiscal and debt-related issues shall not be shared. As he is in favor of the Czech Republic adopting Euro in 2017, noisy opposition to fiscal rescue transfers to the southern member states is to be expected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the next five years, Czech Republic will have a president who can be expected to openly and straightforwardly critize his oponents home and abroad. Zeman\u2019s international policy pillars are expected to be EU fiscal issues, danger of radical Islam in Europe and pro-Russian trade orientation of the state<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New head of state won his seat by pushing hard for so far neglected hot spot of Czech society \u2013 nationalism and frustration of lower income brackets.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
