Obama public address may be moved indoors in the event of rain

Feverish preparations are underway for US President Barack Obama’s upcoming visit to Prague. The US president is to deliver his first public address in Europe on Prague’s Hradčany Square on Sunday morning, but organizers said on Wednesday that in the event of rain the speech could be moved indoors to Černín Palace, the seat of the Czech Foreign Ministry. Some 30,000 people are expected to turn up for the event. In the afternoon President Obama will attend an EU-US summit at Prague’s Congress Centre.
