On the 17th of November, the International Students’ Day, we commemorate the events of 1939 and 1989 that triggered the Velvet Revolution and caused change of regime in Czechoslovakia. It became the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day, which is a national holiday in the Czech Republic. It belongs to the most exposed holidays, when people feel urged to go to the streets and express their political opinion. There will be several demonstrations in the centre of Prague, reaching from manifestations of dissatisfaction with the state of the country, through peaceful acknowledgement of freedom of expression at the Festival of Freedom, to satirical Velvet Carnival that enables people to celebrate their acquired freedom in a sophisticated and joyous manner that also reflects upon this freedom critically.
Our office will be closed but our project managers will be able to assist our customers to a certain extent as regards the ongoing projects.
