At the World Demographic Association Congress, September 29th 2006, St. Gall University, I had the honour of meeting former Czech president Vaclav Havel and of interpreting his acceptance speech as the laureate of the “Prix des Générations 2006”. Understandably, I was both nervous and excited at the same time, but all went well and as it turned out, the speech was not as philosophical as I had originally feared. A recording of Vaclav Havel’s speech is available here (MP3 format).
