President Václav Klaus says that this term of office will be his last, even if the country introduces direct election of the head of state by 2013, when his current term ends. Few can imagine Czech politics without a man who has been one of its central figures, for better and for worse, for 20 years. To discuss the statement and the possible future of the president’s political career, I spoke with political analyst Petr Just, who I began by asking if he was surprised that the president doesn’t harbour ambitions for a third term.
