Nice...

The first award is described as the "Cross of the Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic" and is to be awarded for heroism in combat or excellent command in combat.

The second is the "Gold Decoration of the Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic" and is to be awarded to those who protect human rights and freedoms, preserve human life and property, and act in defence of law and order.

Also established is a medal, the Commemorative Medal of Honour for the 90th Anniversary of the Czech Republic, to be awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the development of the state (but which appears to be going to be awarded to most members of the armed forces!).

Thanks for spotting this, Antonio. Scuttling off to update my site....
