E15: Česká pošta to sponsor Olympic athletes

The Czech business daily E15 has reported that Česká pošta (Czech Post) is to become an official partner of the Czech Olympic team, contributing around six or seven million crowns per year. According to the daily, negotiations between Olympic Committee representatives and the Czech Post took almost five months. The negotiations were complicated by the fact that Česká pošta is state-owned, falling under different rules compared to firms in the private sector. A contract is expected to be signed by the end of the month.
