President Zeman to leave for holiday on Thursday

President Milos Zeman will leave for another part of his summer holiday on Thursday, from which he will come back in mid-August, spending the time mostly at the presidential chateau in Lany, central Bohemia, his spokesman Jiri Ovcacek told CTK today. The holiday is to begin on August 1 and will last "approximately until mid-August," Ovcacek said. Zeman already took holiday in late June, early July this summer when he stayed in his house in Nove Veseli, south Moravia, after visiting the Vysocina Region. He interrupted his holiday because of the dispute around the replacement of the culture minister.
