Pavel first head of state after Masaryk to visit Veterinary University in Brno

President Petr Pavel became the first head of state to visit the Veterinary University in Brno on Tuesday in over a century. During his visit, he toured the simulation center featuring dog models. He also entered the campus through the same door used by the first Czechoslovak president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, in 1924. According to Rector Alois Nečas, no Czechoslovak or Czech president has visited the university since that time.
