Topics of discussion throughout the day, during Mr Schroeder's meetings with President Vaclav Klaus, Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla and the leaders of both houses of parliament, were mainly expected to focus on the European Union and trade relations. Mr Schroeder was expected to visit the country eighteen months ago but cancelled the trip after former Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman called Sudeten Germans - ethnic Germans who lived in Czechoslovakia during WWII - "Hitler's fifth column". Now, Mr Schroeder and Mr Spidla stress that bilateral relations are better than ever. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/schroeder_klaus.jpg?timestamp=1590267784 https://english.radio.cz/german-chancellor-schroeder-prague-8077836 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
