Mr Klamar won with an unusual photo from a series covering US President Barack Obama’s visit to Prague in April, including a highly-attended speech on Prague’s Hradčany square. The photo, taken on a misty and overcast day, was awarded for its originality, capturing as the jury suggested, a “symbolic dialogue” between Mr Obama and Czechoslovakia’s first president T.G. Masaryk (whose statue stands on the square).encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/czech_press_photo_5.jpg?timestamp=1591317886 https://english.radio.cz/slovak-photojournalist-wins-czech-press-photo-obama-masaryk-photo-8579975 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
