Czechs pick wobbly way to hand over EU presidencyPRAGUE (AFP) – Prague's historic Charles Bridge witnessed a wobbly symbolic handover of the Czech European Union presidency to Sweden on Saturday as officials passed a keg of Czech beer from one boat to another.
"We were looking for a symbol of the Czech presidency that we could pass to the Swedes, and I think we were right when we ended up with a keg of beer," Czech minister for EU affairs Stefan Fule told AFP.
The Czech Republic, which holds the EU presidency until June 30, boasts the highest beer consumption per capita in the world.
