Can foreigners vote in Brno municipal elections?

___
UPDATE, 22.9.2014
As the Regional Court in Brno has ruled, EU citizens with PERMANENT as well as TEMPORARY residence status can register into the electoral register list and vote in the upcoming municipal elections.
Foreigners can register with this form and their ID and residence cards at the appropriate City Office before October 8, 4pm.

___
If you are an EU citizen with permanent or temporary residence in the Czech Republic, you can participate in the municipal elections too, both actively and passively – vote and be elected.
Citizens of other EU member states have the right to vote in the municipal elections at the place of their residency if they have reached the age of 18 and have been registered for permanent or temporary residence status in the territory of the Czech Republic.
Besides having the residence card, you need to be included in the electoral register at the relevant municipal office not later than 48 hours prior to the elections – i.e. October 8, 4 pm.
The registration in the electorate register in Brno can be done through your local municipal office, according to the address on your residence card. For instance, in Brno střed – the city centre – this is at Dominikanská 2 at the office of Informatics with Mrs. Prokopová.
For other city districts you can find the contacts here. The same office will let you know where the polling station is and will issue ballot papers to you or you pick them up at the polling station on the election day.
Well, and who to cast a ballot for? That is the question.
