Foreign minister back at the office

Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg is back at work after a month-long break for health reasons. At the end of February the foreign minister underwent heart surgery at a private clinic in neighbouring Austria and later spent some time at a spa regaining his strength. A foreign ministry spokesperson said Mr. Schwarzenberg was feeling well and would attend a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Slovenia at the close of the week. He is scheduled to visit the United States and Mexico in April, his health permitting.
