This is a tragic decision of a medieval monarch, not of a president of a developed democratic state in the 21st century. It isn't a bad bill and it is in the interested of the public to pass it, same as in other European countries.

It's a great encouragement for us.

The law is a compromise. It will harm no one and make many happy.

Sure, we still eat carp. But I don't put it in my bath and I do not do any of the killing. I don't like killing animals. I get someone in the market to do it for me. I buy the fish just a day before Christmas Eve. It will still be fresh. It's cold in Prague. You can keep it out on the balcony.

I don't foresee myself coming back in the next couple of weeks. But this is what I know, what I've worked for my whole life. I don't want it to be taken away.

I don't think this is ethnic cleansing in the sense it was in Bosnia.
