Excerpt:
Right-wing Czech President Vaclav Klaus slammed the EU's sweeping new measures to fight climate change as a "tragic mistake" in an interview with a German newspaper on Thursday.
"I believe that our government and others will stand up against these bureaucratic ideas," Klaus told the Handelsblatt business daily.
"This package is without doubt a tragic mistake, a misunderstanding of nature and an unnecessary limitation of human activity," the outspoken Eurosceptic leader added.
"For me it is almost a tragedy."
Klaus has previously compared German Chancellor Angela Merkel's pro-environmental platform to Soviet-era centralised planning and described evidence of global warming as bogus.
He said the measures presented by the European Commission would threaten economic growth and limit personal freedom.
