The districts ("okres") are going to be dismissed. They were replaced by
regions ("kraj") and some of the present district qualifications
will be transferred to about 180-200 "qualified cities" in January 1, 2003.
Moreover, the districts are not self-governing entities while the regions
are (therefore the districts had, have and will have *no* symbols). Consequently,
I believe that the Czech municipalities should be classified according
to regions only, with no references to the decaying districts. Here is
a list of new divisions - proposals only - (present okres)
Bystřice nad Pernštejnem (ZR), Havlíčkův Brod (HB), Humpolec (PE),
Chotěboř (HB), Jihlava (JI), Moravské Budějovice (TR), Náměšť nad Oslavou
(TR), Nové Město na Morave (ZR), Pelhřimov (PE), Světlá nad Sázavou (HB),
Telč (JH), Třebíč (TR), Velké Meziříčí (ZR), Zdár nad Sázavou (ZR).
