 Address by V. Havel
Last year?s laureate of the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation, Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany, spoke here, among other things, about the ancient roads and paths of Europe that should be kept in our memory.
This award is obviously meant to advance awareness of the fact that human communication is not only a way of imparting information, but also a form of human contact that can prompt us to understand each other.
