On June 1st, another Havel's Place was unveiled, this time in Budislav. The ceremonial inauguration was attended by Petr Pithart, a Czech politician, dissident, and signatory of Charter 77. 

Havel’s Place is a memorial dedicated to Václav Havel. It comprises two chairs linked by a round table with a tree growing through its centre. The installation of Havel’s Places is a worldwide project initiated by the Czech ambassador to the US, Petr Gandalovič, and the architect and designer Bořek Šípek. The aim of the project, which is coordinated and implemented by the Václav Havel Library, is to create a network of places in public spaces that can contribute to meeting and holding genuine dialogue – places where it will be possible to have discussions and reflect in the spirit of the ideals and philosophy of Václav Havel.
