President Pavel visits Pilsner Urquell brewery on official visit to region

On a two-day official visit to the Plzeň region, Czech President Petr Pavel and his wife Eva visited the famous Pilsner Urquell brewery, where, according to the Czech News Agency, he took a great interest in the sustainable elements of the brewery's beer production, such as solar panels on the roof and the reuse of rainwater after purification. After visiting the brewery, the president and his wife went to visit Líně airport and the town of Tachov in the afternoon.

At a press conference during his visit to the region on Tuesday, President Pavel said that the problem that differentiates the Plzeň region from other parts of Czechia is the large number of people who go to work in Germany from the region, and vice versa from other countries to the region.

The couple will end their visit to the region on Wednesday.
