The article reports that Kostolanská has been appointed as the new ombudsman, following her nomination by the Senate and the Czech Conference of Rectors. She won in a second round of secret voting against former government commissioner for human rights Klára Šimáčková Laurenčíková, who was nominated by President Petr Pavel. Kostolanská emphasized her knowledge of public administration and suggested setting priorities for the office. Former ombudsman Stanislav Křeček noted that most cases handled by the ombudsman resulted in improvements within public institutions.
