Former Presidents Zeman and Schuster Receive Award for Czech-Slovak Friendship
Published
Former Czech President Miloš Zeman and former Slovak President Rudolf Schuster received an award for supporting mutual relations between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The ceremony was presented by the Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura. Information about the event was published by the server iDNES.cz.
The award is intended to highlight the importance of good relations between the two countries. Czechia and Slovakia were for a long time a single state, Czechoslovakia, and until 1993 formed a joint federation. Even today, the two countries are close partners in the European Union, NATO, and other international organisations. Many people in both countries also visit each other every day, work, or study together.
Zeman was President of the Czech Republic from 2013 to 2023. Schuster was President of Slovakia from 1999 to 2004. During their time in office, both politicians advocated good relations between neighbouring countries. Their cooperation was one of the important topics of Czech and Slovak politics.
This event shows that relations between the Czech Republic and Slovakia remain an important topic for politicians and the public alike. Details of how the award was granted and the rest of the programme of the evening are not yet available.
