Evropě, to osladíme

The Czech Republic is taking its turn with the EU presidency. The slogan of their presidency is "Evropě, to osladíme" or literally "Europe, we will sweeten it". But there is a certain tongue in cheek meaning to this slogan, because the word osladit can also mean dulcify (to make agreeable or gentle; mollify) and the phrase can also mean "Europe, we will teach it!"
