The Open Society Fund (OSF) Prague chapter has announced it will provide a Kč 11.5 million grant to support a new anti-corruption and freedom of information initiative named after Otakar Motejl, a former Czech justice minister and president of the Supreme Court who went on to become the country's first ombudsman.

Motejl – regularly named in public opinion polls as among the most trusted public officials in the Czech Republic — had served as ombudsman for a decade before he died in May 2010 at the age of 77.
