She received the award at the ceremonial ceremony from the hands of Ambassador Fredrik Jörgensen, who emphasized that few have cared for Sweden’s good name in the world like Ivona Pokorná, who dedicated most of her professional life to the service of Sweden.

And where does the awardee prefer to go on vacation? “You will be surprised, but to Sweden. I can’t imagine a better rest than in a cottage in the middle of the woods full of blueberries and mushrooms, ideally on the lake shore with a lot of fish,” Mrs. Pokorná laughed after handing over.

And we wish, as we wished for her recent birthday, that she would not get tired of serving Sweden for a long time!
