15.02.2008 - Czech PM calls for return to dignity, for "uniting" election
The parliament met for a second presidential election held one week after the first three-round election failed to produce a future president.
Topolanek spoke after the three presidential candidates, incumbent President Vaclav, an ODS candidate, economist Jan Svejnar, nominated by four senator groups, and MEP Jana Bobosikova, nominated by the Communists (KSCM), made their candidate addresses.
He said he would like to ask lawmakers to return to the dignity that the head of state enjoyed in the first Czechoslovak republic (1918-38), and to the tradition of a president who stands above parties, just as Klaus has been.
Topolanek said the current presidential election must not be accompanied by obstructions, it must not be a "protest election" Czechs divided on Klaus, Svejnar as future president - CVVM poll ...
Czech KSCM does not pledge support to Klaus, will decide Thursday ...

"Let's find the strength that will unite us," he called on the lawmakers.
