Site chosen for President Obama’s keynote Prague speech

US President Barack Obama is to deliver his only public European speech at Hradčanské náměstí - one of the main squares near Prague Castle – on Sunday morning, the American Embassy in Prague has announced. The site, which offers a panorama of the Czech capital’s skyline, has been a topic of heavy speculation over the past month. Prior to his address, which is expected to centre on nuclear disarmament, Mr Obama will be meeting with Czech President Václav Klaus and will afterwards be attending an EU-US summit at Prague’s Congress Centre. A meeting with former Czech president Václav Havel is also planned for the weekend.
