    Czech president released from hospital after motorbike fall

    PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech President Petr Pavel was released from hospital on Friday after sustaining minor injury in a motorbike accident on Thursday, his office said.

    "His schedule for the next week remains in place, including a planned foreign trip," it said.

    Pavel is scheduled to visit Jordan next week, and also join NATO foreign ministers who will be meeting in Prague.

    "The injury was caused by a fall from a motorcycle at low speed, during a riding practice in terrain on a closed circuit," the office said.

    The office did not specify Pavel's injury.

    Pavel, a 62-year-old former Czech army chief and head of NATO's military committee, was elected last year and has maintained his hobby of motorcycling since then.
