Jindrak also announced Zeman's participation in several events in the coming months.
On September 1, the Czech president will take part in the memorial events in Warsaw on the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II. It is expected that about 30 state leaders would participate in this action, including US and German presidents, the official said.
On September 10-12, Zeman will pay an official visit to Serbia, where he will meet with the leading politicians of the country. This trip is primarily of an economic nature in order to support cooperation between the two countries in industry and science. The president will be accompanied by a large delegation of Czech businessmen, Jindrak said.
On November 9, Zeman will visit Berlin to attend the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier invited his colleagues from the countries of the Visegrad Four to emphasize the important role their countries had played in the overthrow of the Communist regime in East Germany and in the fall of the Berlin Wall.
