The General Meeting of the Prague Congress Center (KCP) changes the members of the Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors. For example, the chairman of the board and former deputy mayor Václav Novotný (TOP 09) and the representative Albert Kubišta (TOP 09) from the supervisory board were dismissed. KCP shareholders are Prague and the state through the Ministry of Finance, the state holds a majority share.
Because of the general assembly meeting, the capital city council met in an extraordinary meeting. Prague was represented at the meeting by Mayor Adriana Krnáčová (ANO). “The need for replacement of the KCP supervisory board and directors was finally decided last week at a joint meeting of shareholders. The congress center does not have a clear strategy on the direction KCP should take in the future,” said Krnáčová.
Apart from Novotný and Kubišta, former TOP 09 representative Milan Urban was also among those recalled. Among other things, city lawyer Michal Jordán was recently elected to the board of directors, and Prague 4 board member Iva Kotvová (SZ) and Prague representative Eliška Kaplicky Fuchsová (ANO) were elected to the board of trustees.

Novotný disagreed with Krnáčová’s statement. “KCP has prepared the concept for two years. If the mayor didn’t spend so much time traveling to Dubai or Brussels, he would know about it and at least be able to register there,” said Novotný. According to Novotný, current ANO representative Karel Grabein Procházka also participated in the creation of the strategy.
Krnáčová wants analysis
Mayor Krnáčová already said in January that he wanted to make an analysis of what to do with KCP and whether to invest up to 800 million in it, which provided by the city last year for the reconstruction and write-off of internal debts.
Last spring, KCP wrote off about two billion of its debts. Debt initially stood at four billion in 2000 due to reconstruction before a meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Buyer and guarantor for repairs is the state, which then does not provide money to pay debts. Thus, the company pays off half of the loan itself. Another 1.85 billion crowns was finally paid out by the state in recent months when it entered the KCP property structure. The state owns 54.4 percent.
