Debate of Czech and Slovak presidents to open Meeting Brno festival

A debate between Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová and her Czech counterpart Petr Pavel will open the Meeting Brno festival on Thursday.

The debate will focus on the relationship between Czechia and Slovakia 30 years after the division of the common state and will take place in the garden of the Tugendhat Villa, where the future of Czechoslovakia was discussed in 1992.

The week-long festival was established in 2016 with the aim to connect different cultures and opinions, and promote interreligious dialogue. This year, it will also address the topics of education or the position of women in the church.
