Nečas declines PM benefits

Mr Nečas said after the appointment that he will not be making use of several of the benefits available to him in his new position. The new prime minister said that he would not be using bodyguards, as he was not in any specific danger and had never had any in his previous posts. Likewise he does not intend to use the Kramář Villa, which has served as the official residence for all prime ministers except Jan Fischer since 1998. He also declined to use the Audi government vehicle available to him, saying he would continue to use a Czech-made vehicle.
