Albright, a former U.S. secretary of state in Bill Clinton’s government, has advised President-elect Barack Obama on foreign policy. Czech Ambassador to the U.S. Petr Kolář said Albright did not aspire to the ambassadorial job, but was ready to take it should Obama ask her to do so.

OIL Czech officials would like to change the way the level of oil reserves in individual European Union member states are calculated during its upcoming EU presidency, Industry and Trade Minister Martin Říman said Dec. 8 at a meeting of international energy ministers, the Czech News Agency (ČTK) reported.
