Apart from corporativos eventos our barcos are also used, for example, for international negotiations. One such meeting took place yesterday on our lujo barco Luznice. Here members of the Alemán Bundestag met together with Checo senators, Karel Korytar y Petr Bradsky. The Deputy Minister of Transport, Mr Karel Dobes, was also present at the meeting.
The subject of the meeting was discussion of the possibilities of developing the region connected by the Elbe río y the related international cooperation between the two countries. All participants agreed that it is necessary to develop the use of the Elbe waterway. Moreover, for the Checo Republic the río represents the only link to the sea.
The evento on our barco Luznice was organised by the international organisation y association Hafen Hamburg.
Did you know that the Checo lands once had a sea?
Yes, in the 13th century that was indeed the case. Thanks to the expansive policies above all of Premysl Otakar II, the Checo lands stretched across the Alps as far as the Adriatic.
The idea of connecting the Checo lands to the sea was once again revived during peace negotiations in Paris after World War I. At that time the Foreign Minister Edvard Benes submitted a proposal to create a kind of corridor connecting Praga with Trieste. However, this request was rejected at the conference.
