Kuchtova suggests names of successors

The outgoing education minister Dana Kuchtova of the Green Party says she would like her deputy and party colleague Dusan Luzny to succeed her in the post. Speaking in a televised debate on Sunday, Ms Kuchtova said she was going to consult all potential candidates with Green Party chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Martin Bursik. Ms Kuchtova says she believes her party will agree on her successor next Sunday. Dana Kuchtova decided to resign earlier this week in connection with a poorly drafted bid for EU funding.
