Eurofile :: 19.12 Farewell Vaclav Havel
Alicja Baczynska presents European news and a special report from Czechs' farewell to former president Vaclav Havel
Thousands of Czechs pay their respects to the late president Vaclav Havel, bowing to his casket at the Prague Crossroads spiritual centre where, at the request of his wife, he is lying in repose. The icon of the country’s Velvet Revolution, “a true champion of democracy and freedom”, will be buried in the St. Vitus’ Cathedral.
