Press Release
of the Czech Rectors Conference to honor the National Holiday on 28 October 2020
Rectors of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of the Czech Republic, members of the Czech Rectors Conference, will honor the day of the founding of Czechoslovakia individually on 28 October 2020, mostly by placing a bouquet to the statue of the first President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk in the city where their HEI is located.
Due to the current crisis epidemiological situation, Rectors will not therefore honor this important national holiday all together in Prague on Hradčanské square near the TGM statue, as has been the custom for years.
Prague, 19 October 2020
On behalf of the Czech Rectors Conference
Prof. Petr Sklenička
Czech Rectors Conference President
