President Miloš Zeman named Dan Ťok of the ANO movement the new minister for transport on Thursday. He becomes the tenth person in six years to hold the ministerial post. Until now Mr Ťok headed the Czech branch of the Skanska construction company. His candidacy came under fire from critics who said his naming to the government would lead to a conflict of interest. The prime minister backed Mr Ťok on the basis of his reputation as a strong advocate of transparency in business.
