Jan Stráský (born 24 December 1940 in Plzeň) is a Czech politician, who served as the last Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia in 1992.
Stráský studied philosophy and political economy at the Charles University in Prague.[1] From 1958 to 1990 he worked at the Central bank of Czechoslovakia. From 1964 to 1969 he was a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.
In 1991 Stráský became a member of the Civic Democratic Party. From 1992 he was a member of parliament, minister of transportation (1993–95), and minister of health (1995–96). From 2 July to 31 December 1992 he served as prime minister. When Czechoslovak President Václav Havel resigned on 20 July 1992 due to his disagreement with the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, some presidential competencies were handed over to Stráský.[1]
From 2001 to 2006 Stráský was the regional head of government in the South Bohemian Region, at which point he left politics. From 2011-2012 he was the director of Sumava National Park.[2]
