Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová has made an unexpected appearance in Prague to congratulate retired General Petr Pavel on becoming the Czech president-elect.
"Your victory is the victory of hope that decency and truthfulness are not weaknesses," she said on stage.
On Saturday, Pavel defeated the Bratislava-born entrepreneur and populist ex-Czech prime minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) in the second round of the presidential elections. The retired general won 58.32 per cent of the votes.
