Zeman insists that the Pirate Party's candidate for foreign minister, Jan Lipawski, be expelled from the new government. The President doubts that the candidate for Minister in question will perform his duties well, as he does not have the necessary qualifications and experience in diplomatic work. This politician became, in particular, one of the initiators of the law for waiving national security considerations when admitting companies from the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China to participate in the tender for the construction of a new power unit at the Czech Dukovany NPP. According to local media, Lipavski does not share the head of state's policy of supporting Israel and is extremely reticent about the head of state's idea to move the Czech embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
