Czech Prime Minister holds talks with German Chancellor

Czech Prime Minister Petr Nečas met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff on Thursday during a working visit to Berlin. The official visit is the Prime Minister’s first in Germany since taking power. The main themes for discussion were expected to be the economy, energy relations and energy security. The German press agency reported that the Czech PM told journalists that he had no intention to raise the issue of the Beneš Decrees, saying that Czech-German relations must focus on the future. Germany is the Czech Republic’s biggest trade partner and accounts for around a third of Czech exports.
