Baku. Elmin Ibrahimov-APA.The Czech Republic took over the European Union presidency from France at midnight with a giant pendulum, dubbed "Time Machine", illuminated on a hill above Prague with blue and yellow.

The Czech Republic, whose president Vaclav Klaus is notoriously eurosceptic, assumed the EU’s rotating six-month presidency in the face of tense political and economic situation.

The official ceremony on the presidency takeover is scheduled to take place at Prague’s historic National Theatre on January 7.

The Czech Republic along with Ireland is the only EU members that have yet to ratify the so-called Treaty of Lisbon, or a new draft European constitution.

The Treaty of Lisbon was rejected by residents in a referendum in Ireland, but the Czechs are to hold a parliament vote.
