John Major in Prague to support Civic Democrats ahead of elections

Former British Prime Minister, John Major, visited Prague on Tuesday. The former leader of the Conservative Party came to the Czech capital to support the opposition right-of-centre Civic Democrats ahead of the general elections in June and take part in the Forum Populini 2006 conference. Following talks with Civic Democrat leader Mirek Topolanek, Mr Major said the party was well prepared and set for a good election result.

The British Labour Party's Tony Blair visited Prague in March to take part in a meeting of socialist leaders and express support for the Social Democrats' election campaign.
