Bill Clinton returns to Prague jazz club where he played saxophone in 1994

Former US President Bill Clinton, who arrived in Prague on Saturday evening for a security conference later in the week, spent an informal evening at Reduta Jazz Club on Sunday, the same club he went to with Václav Havel in 1994 and made famous by playing an impromptu performance on the saxophone. This time he was accompanied by the current Czech president, Petr Pavel. The foreign and interior ministers, Jan Lipavský and Vít Rakušan, were also in attendance, as well as the former First Lady, Václav Havel's second wife Dagmar Havlová, and the speaker of the lower house, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.

On Monday, Clinton is due to meet with Prime Minister Petr Fiala at the prime minister's official Prague residence, Kramář's Villa. On Tuesday he will be speaking at the conference 'Our Security Cannot Be Taken For Granted' at Prague Castle, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Czech Republic joining NATO.
