Former PM expresses wish to walk across Europe

The former Czech prime minister and current Euro commissioner Vladimír Špidla has expressed a wish to walk across Europe. The comments were made on Mr Špidla’s online blog, where the Euro MP wrote “One day, when I will have the time, I hope to put on some mountain shoes and crisscross Europe by foot.” He also added that since working in Brussels, he tries to find time at least once a week to take a long walk in the city. A number of Brussels politicians have their own blogs.
