No EU flag for Prague Castle

The leftist newspaper Právo criticises Czech President Václav Klaus for refusing to fly the EU flag at Prague Castle despite the fact that the Czech Republic will hold the EU Council Presidency in 2009. "No one who knows Klaus, either in the Czech Republic or in the EU, will be surprised by his attitude. Everyone knows he has a mind of his own. He keeps on fighting against everything he dislikes, this time against a flag that is not a symbol of the nation state." Klaus has justified his behaviour by arguing that the Czech Republic is also a member of Nato and the UN, but it doesn't fly their flags atop the castle. However this argument falls flat, the newspaper writes: "Klaus has never had conflicts either with Nato or with the UN. But he has waged, is waging and forever will be waging war on the EU. ... Certainly, the Czech Republic is a member of the EU, as decided by a majority of Czechs in a referendum. That is the difference with our membership in the UN or Nato, which was not the subject of referendums. ... 'A man's home is his castle' is a pretty saying. But Prague Castle is not Klaus' home."
