Press: StB agents monitored Klaus in 1980s

The current Czech president, Vaclav Klaus, was spied on by the communist StB secret police during the 1980s, Mlada fronta Dnes reported on Wednesday. The StB searched Mr Klaus's office, bugged his home and read his letters, the paper reported. The secret police reportedly developed an interest in Mr Klaus's economics lectures after an informer told them that he had invited "non-Marxists and right-wingers to attend". The president's wife Livia was also monitored.
