President Pavel holds reception for foreign diplomats

President Petr Pavel will hold a reception for foreign diplomats at Prague Castle on Friday. A meeting with foreign diplomats is traditionally held on the eve of Czechoslovak Independence Day, marking the founding of Czechoslovakia on October 28, 1918. The president's wife Eva will also be present.  The president organized one such meeting with the diplomatic corps shortly after his inauguration earlier this year.

Foreign diplomats are traditionally also invited to the award giving ceremony at Prague Castle on Czechoslovak Independence Day.
