intelligence pipelines." "There is no need to react to nonsense articles from Granma," Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Tomas Pojar told HN. Pojar pointed out that he, too, got on the "black list" of Fidel Castro's regime when he was head of the People in Need humanitarian organisation that supported Cuban dissidents. The article on Kolar mentions People in Need, calling it "a group created in Prague by the CIA." Kolar said in reaction the article may be a sign that the "Cuban regime is starting to be very uncertain." Castro's regime was probably angered by Kolar's interview for the Miami Herald in which he says Cuban citizens are not just passive victims, but that they may take the situation in their own hands and initiate a change in their country, HN writes. Totalitarian regimes traditionally dislike such calls for active opposition the most, HN writes. The Czech Republic has been a strong critic of Castro's regime for a long time. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek awarded Cuban dissident Oscar Biscet during his recent visit to Washington, the paper recalls. In May, the Czech embassy in Washington will organise a conference on the occasion of the Cuba Solidarity Day, established by the U.S. administration, HN writes.
