Czech president and prime minister to attend Lech Kaczynski’s funeral

Czech President Václav Klaus, Prime Minister Jan Fischer and archbishop of Prague, Dominik Duka, will attend the funeral of the late president Lech Kaczynski in Cracow on Sunday. They will have to travel there by train because air connections continue to be disputed. President Klaus was a close friend as well as political ally of the conservative Polish president. A funeral ceremony attended by tens of thousands of Poles in Warsaw’s main square was held in memory of the plane cash victims on Saturday.
