Former Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg told Czech Television's Interview 24 show that new Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek was a novice and would not be able to stand up to the Prime Minister, Andrej Babis, or to President Milos Zeman. The Prague Daily Monitor newspaper said he has called Petricek "useless."
Schwarzenberg, 80, served as foreign minister from 2007 to 2009, and again from 2010 to 2013. He's a member of the TOP 9 party, serving in the Czech Chamber of Deputies, and was the party's first leader in 2009.
His family is related to the Habsburg family which ruled Austria, hungry, and the lands that became Czechoslovakia, until 1918.
