context_page_description: The President of the Czech Republic is the elected formal head of state of the Czech Republic and the commander-in-chief of the Czech Armed Forces.
  The president does not have nearly as much power as counterparts in the United States and president of France, as the Czech Republic is a parliamentary republic. However, unlike counterparts in other Central European countries such as Austria and Hungary, who are generally considered figureheads, the Czech president has a considerable role in political affairs. Because many powers can only be exercised with the signatures of both the President and the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, responsibility over some political issues is effectively shared between the two offices.
  The current president, Miloš Zeman, assumed the office on 8 March 2013. His term will end on 8 March 2023.
context_section_description: The official residence of the president of the Czech Republic is Prague Castle. However, the living quarters are small and not particularly comfortable, so recent presidents (Václav Havel and Václav Klaus) have chosen to live elsewhere. The last president to reside more or less full-time in the residence in the Prague Castle was Gustáv Husák. The president also maintains a summer residence at the castle in the village of Lány, 35 km west of Prague.
