After motorcycle accident
Czech president discharged from hospital
Czech President Petr Pavel is on the road to recovery after a motorcycle accident. He was discharged from hospital on Friday for treatment at home, a spokesman announced. The politician apparently broke a rib.
The 62-year-old injured himself in a fall at low speed while driving through a closed-off training area, it was reported. Pavel then spent the night in the Central Military Hospital in Prague for observation.
No further details were given about the nature of the injury, but it is said to be "not serious". The newspaper "Blesk" claims to have learned that Pavel may have broken a rib.
Busy program despite injury
According to the presidential office, the head of state's program will remain unchanged in the coming days - including a planned trip abroad to Jordan next week. There he is to meet with King Abdullah II.
Former Chief of General Staff Pavel has been at the helm of the EU and NATO member state since March 2023. He is an avid motorcycle fan and has several vehicles in his garage. In May 2023, he traveled to a meeting with Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder in Selb, Upper Franconia, on a motorcycle.
After riding without a helmet last summer, he had to publicly apologize. He also donated money to an association that helps accident victims.
