Deputy Prime Minister postpones police interrogation

Deputy Prime Minister and Christian Democrat leader Jiri Cunek, who is facing charges of corruption, has postponed a police interrogation. Mr Cunek says he put in a request to reschedule because the media had found out about the date. Mr Cunek is accused of having accepted a bribe five years ago when he was mayor of the Moravian town of Vsetin. Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said on Wednesday that it will not be long before Mr Cunek - unable to cope with mounting pressure - resigns.
