President, prime minister split foreign affairs agenda

President Václav Klaus, Prime Minister Petr Nečas and Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg agreed on Monday on splitting the foreign affairs agenda. President Klaus will represent the country at EU summits that primarily focus on the union’s external relations, while PM Nečas will attend summits with internal EU agenda. However, the upcoming UN summit in New York as well as November’s NATO summit in Portugal will be attended by both the president and the foreign minister.
