Marta Kubišová’s Prayer for Marta, the unofficial anthem of the Velvet Revolution, and the Hussite chant Ktož jsú boží bojovníci, or All You Mighty Warriors of God, are among the six Czech songs selected for the first-ever EU Songbook, published on Tuesday.

The idea to create a European Union Songbook began in Copenhagen in 2015, with the aim of celebrating the rich cultural diversity of each member state.
