"We planned our trip to the U.S. irrespective of what the result of [Czech] negotiations on Obama's Prague visit may be. Now it has been confirmed that the summit will also deal with preparations for the Copenhagen climate conference [due in December 2009]. That is why we will be able to pre-discuss the topic [in the U.S.] beforehand," Bursik's deputy Jan Dusik told CTK.
