Czechs want to take part in euro zone summits

The Czech Republic will try to secure its participation in the future euro zone summits at a EU summit in Brussels that will deal with the new EU fiscal pact on Monday, Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said on Friday. He said it would be good for the Czechs to see what is going on and for the Czech voice to be heard. The minister discussed the planned fiscal pact with his colleagues from other EU states on Friday. The final decision is to be made by heads of state or government.
