Dear Mr. Janeček,
I didn't know your name a few months ago, but now it seems that you want us all to know you. You have been addressing us through the media. So I suppose you will be happy if a citizen addresses you back through the media too. I see that you belong to the young generation. You are only 36 years old, so I congratulate you on your rapid rise to this position, where you have influence over every business in the Czech Republic.
