President Petr Pavel received at Prague Castle on 20 October 2026 representatives of youth organisations of the parties and movements that have their own parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. According to Blesk, he wanted to talk with them about affordable housing, mental health and artificial intelligence.[1][2]
Course of the meeting
At the outset Pavel said he believed in a debate that is "not only open but also mutually beneficial" and that he wanted to learn how representatives of the young generation perceive things and what solutions or obstacles they see. According to him, the outcome of the debate could be carried into the Chamber of Deputies and into the president's talks with ministers or the prime minister.[1][2]
