Left-leaning former Prime Minister Milos Zeman is leading in the race for the largely ceremonial post of Czech president. With the votes from more than 50 percent of polling stations counted Saturday, the outspoken Zeman was leading with 57.62 percent of the vote while his opponent, conservative Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg received 42.37 percent. According to AP, Czechs are electing the country's president in a direct popular vote for the first time, choosing a leader to replace euro-skeptic President Vaclav Klaus.
