Czech President Pavel Released After Minor Motorbike Accident

Czech President Petr Pavel was released from the hospital after a minor motorbike accident. Despite the injury, his upcoming schedule remains intact, including a trip to Jordan and a meeting with NATO foreign ministers in Prague. Details on the injury were not specified.

Czech President Petr Pavel was released from hospital on Friday after sustaining minor injury in a motorbike accident on Thursday, his office said. "His schedule for the next week remains in place, including a planned foreign trip," it said.

Pavel is scheduled to visit Jordan next week, and also join NATO foreign ministers who will be meeting in Prague. "The injury was caused by a fall from a motorcycle at low speed, during a riding practice in terrain on a closed circuit," the office said.

The office did not specify Pavel's injury. Pavel, a 62-year-old former Czech army chief and head of NATO's military committee, was elected last year and has maintained his hobby of motorcycling since then.
