“Continuation of the Czech side of the discussion of its claims, we, of course, we consider as unacceptable. Its attitude to this politicized chapter in the near future to state the chapter of the Czech diplomatic mission in Moscow, which is summoned to Smolensk Square,” the diplomat noted.
On June 28, it was reported that the Czech Republic’s authorities demanded compensation for damage in the amount of 650 million kroons (about 25.5 million euros). Prague believes that Moscow is involved in the explosions of ammunition in 2014 warehouse. As a result of the incident killed two people. Russia involvement in incidents denies.
