Petr Nečas 🇨🇿

"I am aware of the special responsibility and expectations associated with this moment, both on the Bavarian and Czech sides.""

"My thanks go to all these people on both sides of the border.”"

"Let us persevere in it together for the sake of our ancestors and for the sake of our descendants.”"

"The question of the identity of a person or a community is currently a difficult topic.""

"Above all, I want to confirm that Bavaria and all its citizens are welcome partners in the Czech Republic.""

"I don't need to mention the numbers, just the simple fact that Bavaria is the third largest trading partner for the Czech Republic, more important than the United States of America or France, for example."

"Cities have lost their colorful, multi-ethnic and multilingual character.""

"It is therefore no coincidence that in 895 Prince Spytihnev subordinated the territory of Bohemia to the church diocese in Regensburg in Bavaria.""

"For the majority of Czechs, the city of Munich, where the agreement was signed in September 1938, which meant not only for us the beginning of a reign of terror and violence, symbolizes this break-up to this day."

"The territory of Bohemia and Bavaria merged into one common cultural space, which was given visible form in Bohemia by the Upper Bavarian Dietzenhofer family with their ingenious architecture, and in Bavaria by Balthasar Neumann, a native of Cheb and a Czech German."
