Government officials claim ruling for former owners weakens Benes Decrees
By KEVIN LIVINGSTON - The Prague Post staff writer
A court's decision to return the Opocno castle to its former owners raises questions about the state's reliance on the controversial Benes Decrees as a justification for refusing to restitute some properties, government officials said.
A regional court in Hradec Kralove ruled May 13 (2003) that the castle, seized by occupying Nazis and later the communist regime, must be turned over to Kristina Colloredo-Mansfeld. She has battled the state for control of the property for more than nine years.
------------------
The government had claimed that Josef Colloredo-Mansfeld, Kristina Colloredo- Mansfeld's father and previous owner of the Renaissance-era castle, was not entitled to restitution because he had applied for citizenship in Nazi Germany in 1940. The regional court rejected that claim.

PRAGUE, Dec 23 (CTK) - The certificate on Czech citizenship of nobleman Josef Colloredo-Mansfeld, issued by the Interior Ministry in 1992, is invalid, the daily Pravo reports today referring to a current ministry report.
However, it is not sure how this fact can influence Colloredo-Mansfeld's restitution dispute about the Opocno chateau, the paper adds.
The court returned the Opocno chateau, east Bohemia, to a daughter of the last chateau owner, Kristina Colloredo-Mansfeld, this May.
According to the verdict of the Regional Court in Hradec Kralove, east Bohemia, no evidence has been submitted proving that Josef Colloredo-Mansfeld lost Czechoslovak citizenship and collaborated with Nazis during World War Two.
In December, the Interior Ministry issued a document on Colloredo-Mansfeld's citizenship, which declares the certificate on his state citizenship from 1992 an invalid decision as it was issued by an unauthorised body, Pravo says.
