Jandák was not allowed entry during the inspection of the monastery in Zlatá Koruna

Prague - The Minister of Culture Vítězslav Jandák was unable to visit the Zlatá Koruna monastery in the Český Krumlov region during his inspection trip on Monday. The fact that the caretaker of the national monument did not make time for the ministerial visit is seen by Jandák as "at least surprising." However, caretaker Zdeněk Troup claims that the issue is due to Jandák's ignorance of the visiting rules and opening hours of monuments, as they are closed on Mondays. Today's Lidové noviny reports this.
"We were unable to get inside the monastery with the entire delegation, although we were announced in advance. We were accompanied by a gardener outside," Jandák complained to the newspaper.
The caretaker of the monastery, who is among Jandák's critics, sees the whole incident differently. Five days before the visit, he reportedly received a call from the ministry stating that the minister was traveling through Český Krumlov and it was possible he would stop by the monastery. "Honestly, I responded that on the day all the monuments are closed, I will not be at work. I had just come from an important three-day conference and needed to take care of some personal matters," claims Troup.
"If Mr. Jandák had called my superior in České Budějovice and he had officially ordered me to be at the monastery even on my day off, everything would have been fine," added the caretaker in LN. However, the director of the National Heritage Institute in České Budějovice, Patrik Červák, has little understanding for his subordinate's behavior. "The fact that the caretaker of the monastery does not make time for the minister and does not even try to inform me about it, I consider a professional mistake that I will have to address," Červák told the newspaper.
