Prague- Some one hundred people with Czech and Serbian flags today gathered in protest against Kosovo's declaration of independence in Prague's centre.
Organiser Ivan Hadrava originally expected a thousand people to arrive at the demonstration at Palacky Square, the Prague "Speakers' Corner."
The participants are to sign a petition which they will hand to Serbia's embassy in Prague.
Czech diplomacy has not yet recognised Kosovo's independence. Prague is interested in good relations with Serbia, Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said today.
Schwarzenberg said previously the Czech Republic would recognise Kosovo only when a large majority of EU countries does so.
Kosovo declared independence on Sunday. It has already been recognised by the United States, Germany, France and Britain, among others.
Hadrava pointed to the fact that the above EU countries also signed the Munich Treaty. A similar stance was expressed by the Communist Party (KSCM).
By the Munich Treaty of September 1938, Germany, Italy, Britain and France decided that Czechoslovakia would cede its border regions densely inhabited by Germans (Sudetenland) to Hitler's Nazi Germany.

A sign of things to come?
Did these same protesters take to the streets when the Czech Republic separated from the Slovak Republic and became an independent country?
If one really believes that the protesters were normal Czech patriots it would stink of rank hypocrisy.
But the protesters are likely Serbs living in the Czech Republic and Czech Communists who toe the Putin party line.
These are the countries who support radical Islam in Kosovo while ostensibly fighting it elsewhere in the world. Can anyone spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-A-C-Y? Kosovo is a doomed Provence. The Muslims will ruin it just as surely as they ruin every other country they live in.
The Czechs and Slovaks agreed to part company. Nobody stole their country from them.
Did the Kosovars steal the land they live on?
I’m sorry -— I think you mean “hypocrisy”?
