PRAGUE, July 23 (Saba)- A Czech official has said that a planned 23
July visit of the Czech Premier Mirek Topolanek to Yemen has been
cancelled, Czech Pragye Monitor daily reported Monday.

Deputy Prime Minister Jiri Cunek said that Talmanova cancelled his
trip to Yemen because his new partner Lucie Talmanova, deputy
chairwoman of the Chamber of Deputies would give birth to their
child in coming days.

Talmanova said previously that the supposed child delivery date is
July 26, which is next Thursday.

According to diplomatic sources, Yemen has communicated to the
