photo: RAILTARGET/New Era for Czech Chamber of Commerce: Zdeněk Zajíček Elected President
Zdeněk Zajíček won the election of the President of the Czech Chamber of Commerce with 190 votes, and RAILTARGET was present there. In his thank-you speech, the new President mentioned the development of technology and transport infrastructure. Filip Dvořák, Radek Jakubský, Roman Pommer, Tomáš Prouza and Michal Štefl, together with Jana Havrdová, will assist him as vice-presidents in the praesidium.
At the beginning of the presidential election process, both candidates were given three minutes to convince business voters to give their vote one last time. Martin Pecina, nominated by the Regional Chamber of Commerce of the Moravian-Silesian Region, took the first floor. His speech focused more on the mistakes he believes the leadership made in the last election period. One of the main things he criticised was the sale of the headquarters. According to him, his main advantage was political impartiality, and his election would finally put a businessman, not an economist or politician, at the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

It was followed by a more moderate but all the more sophisticated speech by the second candidate, Zdeněk Zajíček, nominated by the ICT Union, which was finally more appreciated by the voters. Unlike in the past, he focused mainly on future goals and endorsed some of the vice-presidential candidates in his speech. Compared to the previous candidate, Zajíček has held several political positions. He eventually won the election with 190 votes.
Five candidates were elected to the position of vice-presidents: Filip Dvořák, Radek Jakubský, Roman Pommer, Tomáš Prouza and Michal Štefl, who has advocated, among other things, the building of railway lines and is not far from the topic of VRT. All these five candidates were mentioned by the new President in his speech during his candidacy. In the end, Jana Havrdová decided not to run for the five and instead asked to be elected as the sixth member of the new team. She was also awarded the title of Honorary President of the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic as a result of the vote.

In his closing speech, the new President mentioned the successful more than thirty years of the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic. He commented that had it not been for the citizens and entrepreneurs, recent difficult times would have been much harder to overcome. One of the main points that the new President wants to address is the emphasis on export policy, in addition to energy self-sufficiency and investment in science and research, and the promotion of transport and technological infrastructure, which is a crucial statement for the railway sector.
