President has 14 days to assess senatorial complaint

In related news, as a party to proceedings the Czech president will have 14 days to respond with an assessment to the constitutional complaint put forward by the group of right-wing senators. The president’s office received a formal request from the chairman of the Constitutional Court Pavel Rychetský. As it stands, the treaty must not be ratified now until the court deals with the complaint, a process which could take several months. The caretaker government led by Jan Fischer has made clear it hopes the treaty will hit no hurdles in the Constitutional Court and eventually will be signed by the country’s president.
