To the Czech Republic now, and ballots are being cast for a second day in the country's presidential election run-off.
Whilst recent polls suggest the two candidates, President Milos Zeman and Jiri Drahos are neck and neck, 73-year-old Zeman is seen as the slight favorite to win another five-year term. The former left-leaning prime minister is renowned for his anti-migrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Meanwhile, 68-year-old Drahos, a relative new-comer to politics, is considered more Western-oriented.
