The recent Czech presidential elections, in which Václav Klaus defeated economist Jan Švejnar were a battle against forces seeking to undermine the post-1989 development in the Czech Republic. So said the Czech president in an interview with the Czech daily Mladá fronta Dnes. Addressing the issue of a president to succeed him, Mr Klaus also suggested that he would be willing to continue the fight for what he deemed the correct political direction of the country even after his second term expires in 2013.
