PRAGUE — Czech President Milos Zeman has decided against awarding a state medal to a Holocaust survivor after the man's nephew, a Czech government minister, met exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama against the president's wishes, the minister said on Friday.

The Czech Republic has been engulfed in political furor over the Dalai Lama's meetings this week with Culture Minister Daniel Herman against the wishes of China's government - which sees the Dalai Lama as a separatist - and Zeman, who has strongly pushed for a closer economic relationship with China.

… Let me now again put my notes away for a moment. After having a discussion with his holiness today, I realized that we very often have a question in our mind – about what we should do, what is our place in this fight  for better world, how to behave. In Slovakia one of the best people whom I had the chance to meet, and had a chance to have a discussion father Srholec, Slovak priest who spent many years in prison during totalitarian period.  He always said that we have to stay in line with our values and that people with the same values should stay united. Father Srholec liked to say 'I don't know what will happen in the future, what will happen tomorrow, but today I know how I would behave.' So, please, we should stay with our values, and we should know now how we would behave in the future.  Thank you.
