The Czech Republic, assuming this role for the second time in its history, is hoping for a more successful outcome than in 2009, when its Presidency was spoiled by the fall of the government. This time, the present-day balance of power in the Chamber of Deputies gives the current government, led by prime minister Petr Fiala, a relatively stable chance of completing the presidency.
