Petr Fejk may be leaving Czech Centre

The former director of the Prague Zoo, Petr Fejk, appears to be in talks to leave his new post at the Czech Centre in New York. While the centre has confirmed there is a chance the well-known manager may be leaving, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which runs the centres, has denied such speculation. Mr Fejk took up the head position at the Czech Centre at the beginning of 2010. Since then he has complained of lacking the authority to implement the vision he was hired to put through, such as involving the centre more in business. Mr Fejk has been credited with turning the Prague Zoo into a world-class institution in his 12 years there and was frequently named as a likely candidate for Prague mayor in the run up top this year’s local elections.
