* The Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the United States, the Honorable Miloslav Stašek, will visit Nebraska
on February 1st through the 3rd. The state of Nebraska has a large Czech Heritage population and a
150-year-long tradition of intellectual and political ties with the Czech Lands, Bohemia and Moravia. During the
three-day visit the ambassador will meet with Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, visit the Nebraska State
Legislature, meet with University of Nebraska Chancellor Ronnie Green and other UNL representatives and
visit the outstanding Czech Heritage Collection in Love Library. The Cultural Attaché Jan Woska will also visit

long collaboration between the Czech Armed Forces and the Nebraska National Guard. Last, but not least,
the Ambassador's party will meet with the representatives of Czech clubs and organizers of the Czech festivals
