The inauguration of Petr Pavel as President of the Czech Republic took place on 9 March 2023 at a ceremonial joint meeting of both chambers of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in the Vladislav Hall of Prague Castle.[1] This is the seventh inauguration in the history of the independent Czech Republic.
The inauguration of Petr Pavel follows the 2023 Czech presidential election, in which Petr Pavel defeated Andrej Babiš gaining of 58.32% of votes in second round.
Preparations
The preparation of the inauguration was ensured by the Office of the President of the Republic headed by Vratislav Mynář, the Office of the Chamber of Deputies headed by Martin Plíšek and the team of President-elect Petr Pavel led by the future head of the Office of the President of the Republic Jana Vohralíková.
The place of inauguration became the Vladislav Hall, in which all Czechoslovak and Czech inaugurations were held since 1934. Originally, the participation of foreign heads of state was intended, but in the end this idea was abandoned.[2]
