EC sues Czech Republic over recognition of doctors' diplomas
The European Commission (EC) announced today that it is suing the Czech Republic at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for failing to harmonise its laws and practice with EU requirements regarding the recognition of diplomas of physicians and dentists from other EU states.

The recognition of academic titles is a very complicated business in the Czech Republic, where a name on the business card can look like this:

Prof. PhDr. Ing. Karel Novák, CSc. PhD

and titles are divided into those přede jménem and za jménem (before/after name).
