Washington - The Czech-born US Secretary of State, Ms Madeleine Albright, is considering running for president of the Czech Republic, Time magazine said. Her spokesman discounted the possibility. Time said President Vaclav Havel told her 1 1/2 years ago that he wanted her to replace him.
Ms Albright will travel to the Czech Republic in a week to join in celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the first Czech president, Tomas Masaryk.
