in the Czech Republic recognized that the Russian embassy uses territories in Prague on legal grounds. This was stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, the statement of the department reports TASS.
The legitimate rights of Russia are fixed in the decision of the Czechoslovak government of September 17, 1970. Based on this document in 1972, the management of the service of the diplomatic corps translated the plot into the permafrost use of the then Soviet embassy. The Czech Foreign Ministry noted that the territory remains owned by the Czech Republic, but Russia, as the successor of the USSR, can use it to accommodate his diplomatic missions.
On April 19, the head of the district “Prague-7” Jan Chihinski demanded from Russia to return the territory at which the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic is currently located. In his opinion, “after 53, the occupation of part of the Stromovka by the Russian Federation should finally end.” The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the land is in the use of Russia on the basis of existing Soviet-Czechoslovak agreements.
