President Klaus in the British news again

Here is The Times article and The Irish Independent
article about the Klaus's visit to Dublin.
The story is clear, Klaus as a Eurosceptical and anti-federalist polititian who os obsesced with being controversial compared himself to a "dissident within the EU".
Such a comparision is of course inappropriate and attracted a lot of attention.
I am really looking forward how the Czech diplomacy lead by Karel Schwarzenberg will handle President Klaus during the Czech EU Presidency.
I just hope that I will not have to feel ashamed. We had worse times though. When Stanislav Gross was our Prime minister - that was too much.
However, the Czech politics still lacks educated elites. Therefore I feel somehow that our generation should perceive some kind of commitment to enter the politics in the future. We are actually the first generation that had most of the possibilities and options like the young in the democratic countries. Travelling, studying abroad, meeting people, speaking foreign languages, having a good education. All that what the previous generations could not have and what is so important for politics.

Here is the most interesting quotation about Klaus from the article by Jiri Dienstbier:

“While we were concerned with running the country, Klaus was concerned with building his own Power through attacking us as ‘elitist’,” said Jiri Dientsbier, a former foreign minister and the Civic Forum leader deposed by Klaus. “This is a tactic he has continued to this day.”
