celebration in the Senate
The ambassadors of EU member states set out for the Senate to commemorate the important anniversary of 15 years since the Czech Republic joined the European Union alongside senators. Since April 2014, the picture “The European Union has a Heart” has been hung in the Senate, a reminder of the Czech Republic’s position in the centre of the EU.
