President Pavel appoints two new ministers to office

President Petr Pavel appointed two new ministers to the Fiala cabinet on Thursday. Mikuláš Bek, who served as minister for European affairs, has taken over the education portfolio and Martin Dvořák, who served as deputy foreign minister, is now the minister for European affairs. The government shake up was triggered by the fact that Vladimír Balaš resigned as education minister due to health problems.
