Citizens could buy cars only for an adviser after long-term high-value winding in favor of the Mototechna National Company in the State Savings Bank. The owners of the foreign exchange account, as the author who had it from the saved diets when he worked on the ČSPD craft national enterprise could also buy motor vehicles in P.Z.O. Tuzex.

He listened to a poisonous comment when his claims from the haggling teeth were returned to the account in the foreign accounting company\'s ČSPD National Enterprise.
