The embattled Czech education minister, Josef Dobes, has announced he will step down. Mr Dobes, who has come under severe pressure over a number of issues including EU funds and his planned university reform, cited further austerity measures as the reason. But observers point out that the minister just seized the opportunity to resign before he would be forced out of office.
The big controversy? He proposed instituting tuition at universities. [Image via]
