Legal Matters

Foreigners in the Czech Republic, as elsewhere, are subject to the laws of the
host country. While your embassy or consulate is the best stop in any emer-
gency, bear in mind that there are some things it can't do for you, like getting
local laws or regulations waived, investigating a crime, providing legal advice
or representation, getting you out of jail and lending you money.

A consul can, however, issue emergency passports, contact relatives and
friends, advise on how to transfer funds, provide lists of reliable local doctors,
lawyers and interpreters, and visit you if you've been arrested or jailed.

PRACTICALITIES

» Current Events The English-language weekly newspaper The Prague Post
( www.praguepost.com ) is the best source of local news available in Eng-
lish. Find it on news stands or often for free on flights or at reception desks of
upscale hotels. Read it for free online. Foreign newspapers can be found at lar-
ger newsagents, bookshops and news stands.

» Radio The BBC World Service broadcasts part of the day in English on
FM101.1. The state-run Czech Radio ( www.rozhlas.cz ) is the main Czech
broadcaster, operating on FM around the country; all programmes in Czech.
