...Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek told Reuters on Tuesday.
Asked whether he personally thought a euro adoption target date should be set this year, Topolanek replied through his spokeswoman: "No. No responsible government gives a date which it cannot influence. Setting a date is a pure formality."
The central bank (CNB) has advised the government against announcing any target date after abandoning a previous 2010 goal. It has clashed with Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek who has proposed 2012 as a new date [ID:nL20101551].
