This is Mesic's second official visit to the Czech Republic. The first one took place in March 2001 when he visited Prague at the invitation of the then Czech president Vaclav Havel.
During his stay in the Czech Republic, Mesic is expected to hold talks with his host Klaus, Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, and Senate Vice President Jiri Lisko. Croatia's head of state is also scheduled to meet Prague mayor Pavel Bem and unveil the memorial plaque to great inventor Nikola Tesla in downtown Prague.
On the second day of his official visit, Mesic will visit Karlovy Vary, the statement said.
