President Zeman to open Žofín economic forum

President Miloš Zeman will open the Prague Žofín economic forum on Thursday with a wide-ranging speech expected to cover the effective functioning of state administration, diminishing trust in political parties and Czech interests in Europe and abroad. The economics forum is a platform for debate not just on economic issues but matters relating to security and social problems. It is attended by leading politicians, economists and members of the academic sphere.
