Presidency Photographers

Selected events of the Czech Presidency (primarily informal EU Council sessions, other summits and some cultural events) will be documented by official Presidency photographers.

Digital photographs in print quality are stored in the photo archive where they are sorted in different galleries according to event and month. All photographs from the events can be accessed, downloaded and used free of charge for non-commercial purposes only (including the media).

Each photo taken by the Presidency photographers must be published with indication of its source eu2009.cz. To download a photograph, just right-click on the photo and select “Save picture”. An even easier solution is to click on “Download in print quality” under the detailed version of each photograph.

The Office of the Government of the Czech Republic is not the copyright holder for the commercial use of photographs taken by the Presidency photographers. All rights to these photographs are governed by Act No. 121/2000 Coll., the Copyright Act.
