According to various valuations the Czech Republic have what it takes to join the monetary union in a period between three and five years. Miloš Zeman, president of the republic, said that in his opinion there are conditions for the adoption already on 2017: except for unforeseen circumstances that year is its official target.

I think that Czech Republic has to be member of ERM II until 31-12-2014 to be able for euro adoption in 2017.

The winner of the last elections (Octobre 2017) is not (publicly) keen on Europe. He is unlikely to start the process to join the EMU then the Euro. We are now stuck for five years of postponement. Unless a scandal forces him to resign…

I think none of the Visegrad states will become a member of the EMU within the next few years, for they more or less reject a European Union at all.

To reject EU is not the Visegrad itself but the current Polish and Hungarian presidents, who complain about EU... but not the generous financial contributions that EU provides. Hungarian public opinion is enthusiastic about the idea of ​​joining the monetary union, but it is held hostage by the nationalist constitutional reform imposed by Viktor Orbán.

The Hungarians elected their "hostage-taker" and his nationalist constitutional reform in free elections, didn't they.

The constitutional reform was decided by the parliament without popular referendum (for nonsense like the change of the fundamental law of the State... the people should not snoop around :roll: ), and mr. Orbán is trying to gag the free media and the opposition according to the "illiberal state" and nationalist plans that he openly declares he wants to achieve. Naturally, the problems come from the "Bruxelles bureaucrats"... instead European funds for Hungary are fine: those are not "bureaucratic" and do not hurt the glorious Hungarian undemocratic and nationalist state under constuction.
There's a problem in Hungary.

And the Members of Parliament have been elected by the people. So if the people is against Orban's policy, they should have voted for other parties.

Just a pretext, my friend.
In no normal country, except in the "illiberal states", the great leader (with the certainty that the parliament will support him, because at that time has his majority) decides fundamental matters like the Constitution without being submitted to referendum, and above all not he passes his reforms trying to close the mouth at opposition and to put the judiciary under his control. Too easy call upon the elected parliament to support policies aimed at gradual dismantling the democracy.

The Orban's policy is contrary to the principles of the democratic state of law, so if the people really support it, it must realize its plans outside EU, without wishing to oppose the EU by accepting its money and belonging to the European economic system because it's convenient. Similar characters are usually called "fuck faces".
