Canadian governor general Michaelle Jean visits Prague

Canadian governor general Michaelle Jean, who is on a five-day official visit to the Czech Republic, met with president Václav Klaus on Monday. Mrs Jean began her visit on Saturday, with a tour of the Museum of Romany Culture in Brno. At a time when an increasing number of Czech Romanies are once again applying for asylum in Canada, the Romany issue is one of the most important issues on the governor’s agenda. Her visit to the Czech Republic is part of a tour of Central Europe, including Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia.
