Tomas Vondracek, Karel Havlicek, Andrej Babis
A group of 60 programmers volunteered to create an e-vignette IT system for free during a two-day hackathon over the weekend, completing and putting it into operation tonight, on Sunday, January 26, 2020, which was set in motion by IT entrepreneur Tomas Vondracek (centre) who called for a hackathon on LinkedIn and got responses from all over the country. Prime Minister Andrej Babis (left) visits the hackathon. The State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI) has offered to cooperate with the developers. SFDI said on Tuesday that the contract for the creation and operation of an e-shop and mobile app for electronic motorway vignettes would be awarded to company Asseco Central Europe which would get Kc401m. Babis and the opposition have criticised the price and the selection process. Vladimir Kremlik was dismissed from the post of transport minister due to the contract and has been replaced by Karel Havlicek (right), who also holds the posts of Deputy Prime Minister and Industry and Trade Minister. Havlicek subsequently decided to cancel the contract. (CTK Photo/Katerina Sulova)
