President Zeman nominates judge for Constitutional Court

President Miloš Zeman has nominated the chief justice of Prague’s Municipal Court, Jan Sváček for judge of the Constitutional Court, a spokeswoman for the Senate said. Mr Sváček was nominated by then-president Václav Klaus but Senators did not approve him for the post.
