Pro-Russian duels liberal in knife-edge Czech vote
Prague, (MILLAT ONLINE):Czechs returned to the polls Saturday for a second day of voting in a tight presidential run-off between pro-Russian incumbent Milos Zeman and liberal pro-European rival Jiri Drahos that promises to go down to the wire.
Bookmakers have given veteran populist Zeman the edge, but recent polls have shown the two candidates neck and neck.
About 10 percent of voters in the EU and NATO member state remained undecided but polls show they too are split down the middle.
“This is a showdown between two completely different candidates representing two parts of a rather split society,” political analyst Tomas Lebeda told AFP, pointing to deep division on immigration and Czech foreign policy.
