Prague and Brno celebrate Europe Day

An open air festival featuring live bands, theatre performances and events for children was held in Prague and Brno on Sunday to celebrate Europe Day.

The event was co-organized by EC representatives, the respective town halls and the ministries of education and culture. The ideas behind what is now the European Union were first put forward in Paris on 9 May 1950, against the background of the instability and the need to rebuild a shattered Europe.
