U.N.Secretary General Kofi Annan, left, and Czech President Vaclav Havel, right, address media after their meeting at Havel's cottage at Hradecek, eastern Bohemia, Saturday, July 17, 1999. Annan praised Havel on Saturday for visiting Kosovo and giving a morale boost to the victims of the devastation there. Havel's journey to the southwestern Kosovo town of Prizren on June 27 stirred controversy in the Czech Republic. Several members of the Cabinet severely criticized the trip, fearing it would jeopardize relations with Serbia, the dominant republic of Yugoslavia.
