Czech President Vaclav Havel indirectly criticized a recent comment by one of his government ministers that seemed to make light of a campaign by some European Jews to protest building on top of a historic Jewish cemetery in Prague. Havel said, “The important thing for me is that the government has the will to seek a solution.”
