The Hall of Fame of the President of the Region opened for the sixth time on 30 September 2014 so that four more personages of the region in the field of arts, science, sport and social life, who are celebrating an important anniversary this year as well, could be inducted into it.
Handball player, silver Olympic medallist and coach Vladimír Haber, actor Pavel Pavlovský, pedagogue, scientist and former rector of the West Bohemian University in Pilsen docent Josef Průša, and the first bishop of the Diocese of Pilsen Mons. František Radkovský are four personalities whom the President of the Region have inducted into the fictional Hall of Fame this year and whom he has given a commemorative diploma and characteristic stone – agate.
All four personalities either were born or have long lived in the Pilsen Region, and their work and reputation go beyond the borders of the region. In addition, they celebrated an important anniversary in 2014.
“I am convinced that our society needs positive examples and that people want to commemorate important personalities of the region. I thus continue the tradition begun by my predecessors – Milada Emmerová and Milan Chovanec,” says President of the Region Václav Šlajs who gave Milada Emmerová, celebrating a significant anniversary in November, a special award for medical, scientific, social and political work and activities.
The ceremony was held in the small hall of Měšťanská beseda in Pilsen. Students of Pilsen Musical Conservatory performed at the event.
