The outgoing President Václav Klaus along with his successor,
president-elect Miloš Zeman, on Thursday paid tribute to
Czechoslovakia’s first president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk at his grave
in
Lány, outside Prague, on the 163rd anniversary of his birth. Accompanied
by their wives, the presidents later had a private lunch together at the
Lány presidential retreat. Mr Zeman will also honour the remains of the
Czech national saint, St Wenceslas, in St Vitus cathedral on Friday, the
day of his inauguration.
