President Zeman greeted by protesters in south Moravia

Around 200 people took to the streets of Brno on Monday to protest against President Miloš Zeman who is on a three-day visit to the south Moravian region. Visiting the University of Defence, the president was greeted by a hostile crowd holding up symbolic red cards and calling for his resignation. Similar protests are expected to take place in Blansko, Židlochovice and Mikulov. The president has recently come under increasing criticism over his stands on Russia, China and the crisis in Ukraine.
