On Thursday 18.1.2024 at Prague Castle, President Petr Pavel welcomed several dozen representatives of the Integrated Rescue System who intervened in the case of a shooter at the University’s Faculty of Arts Karlovy on December 21 last year.
He met with police officers, doctors and paramedics, firefighters, as well as psychologists and interventionists. The President primarily wanted to thank them for their commitment on the day of the tragic event, but also to talk to them about what their work entailed.
“I am extremely appreciative of the fact that you did everything in your power and in accordance with the applicable rules. I want to thank you all and at the same time wish you never to do this again they did not have to participate in the intervention,” said President Pavel to those present at the beginning of the meeting.
The meeting was also attended by the Director of the Regional Directorate of the Police, Petr Matějček, the Director of the Fire Rescue Service, Vladimír Vlček, and the Director of the Prague Rescue Service, Petr Kolouch.
