Czech activists plan to hold rallies in Prague for Czech President Milos Zeman's resignation.

PRAGUE, November 30 (Sputnik) – Youth group activists plan to hold rallies in Prague on Monday, calling on Czech President Milos Zeman to resign, the Mlada fronta Dnes daily reports.

"Representatives of various youth groups plan to hold mass demonstrations in Prague on Monday to protest against the policy and certain statements made by President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman and to hand him a letter demanding his resignation," the newspaper reported on its website Saturday.

On Friday, spokesperson for Czech Radio Jiri Hosna told RIA Novosti that Zeman could be banned from speaking live on the radio because of his recent use of swearwords on air.

During a November 2 interview with Radio Praha, the president used swearwords while translating the name of the Russian band Pussy Riot.

Radio Praha is reported to be behind a public outrage at Zeman, because of his policy with regard to Ukraine and China.

On November 17, during his interview with the Russian Channel One, Zeman said that what is happening in Ukraine is simply a civil war and spoke against the sanctions that have been imposed against Russia by the West over its alleged role in the Ukrainian crisis.

Zeman is also pursuing economic and business ties with China, which, according to some Czech media reports, is questioned by the country's citizenry who think that the policy could be fraught with something not yet known to the public.
