Former Slovak president Andrej Kiska (not at the photo) and the Prague-seated Vaclav Havel Library head Michael Zantovsky (photo) unveiled a Vaclav Havel bench in Zlin today, on Thursday, November 14, 2019, another in the series of benches installed in Czechia and abroad in commemoration of Havel, the late playwright turned president. Designed by artist and Havel's friend Borek Sipek, all the benches are shaped as two armchairs interlinked by a round table with a tree growing through its centre. Today's unveiling ceremony was staged within the Freedom Festival in Zlin on the 30th anniversary of the anti-communist Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, of which Havel was the main protagonist. /CTK Photo/Dalibor Gluck)
