Havel to attend Czech personalities' meeting with Pope

Former Czech president Vaclav Havel is among the personalities invited to a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI during his forthcoming visit to Prague, and he plans to attend the event hosted by the Presidential Office.

The meeting in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle on September 26 will be attended by representatives of the Czech political and social life and also diplomats.

A private meeting of Havel and the Pope has not been planned for now, but it cannot be ruled out, Tancevova said.

The Pope is visiting the Czech Republic on September 26-28 at the invitation of President Vaclav Klaus, who will receive him at Prague Castle.

On September 27 the Pope will visit Prague Castle again to attend a meeting with academicians.

During his visit, he will celebrate masses in Brno and in Stara Boleslav, central Bohemia, in honour of St Wenceslas, saint patron of Bohemia.

On arrival in Prague Benedict XVI will visit the Church of Virgin Mary Victorious with the famous statuette of the Prague Infant Jesus.
