PRAGUE (Sputnik) — Czech President Milos Zeman will take part in Victory Day celebrations on May 9 at the Russian embassy in Prague, his spokesman Jiri Ovcacek said Friday.
"President of the republic Milos Zeman will take part in a reception organized on the occasion of the Russian state holiday- Victory Day on Monday, May 9, 2016… in the building of the Russian embassy," Ovcacek said.
On May 9, Russia will commemorate the 71th anniversary of victory over the Nazi Germany in World War II and honour the memory of those who fought against fascism in celebrations across the whole country.
Last year, Zeman visited Moscow on May 9, but did not attend the military parade on the Red Square.
