Zeman will not attend October 28 ceremony in Prague due to health

Former president Miloš Zeman will not attend the October 28 ceremony at Prague Castle, where state decorations will be presented, due to health reasons. On Saturday, stitches were removed from his back, where doctors at Prague’s Motol Hospital had performed emergency surgery on an abscess last week. He will continue his home recovery until early November. The information was provided to ČTK on behalf of the former president by Luboš Procházka, director of Olympia Publishing House, which publishes Zeman’s books.
