On the solemn day of the takeover of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the organisers of the Smetana’s Litomyšl National Festival and the Czech Philharmonic jointly endorse the European cultural heritage and the fundamental values of the European project – solidarity, tolerance, freedom, equality and respect.
