Poll: Czechs largely indifferent to upcoming EU presidency

A new poll released by the CVVM agency has suggested that most Czechs are not interested in the Czech Republic's upcoming EU presidency. The Czech Republic will assume the six-month presidency, currently presided by France, on January 1, 2009 but three quarters of those queried showed little interest in the issue: just 22 percent seemingly regarded it as important. Most did agree they had scant information on the issue, with only 15 percent answering that current information levels were enough.
