Czech President Milos Zeman slammed the authorities’ recent denial of entry to the country to a Russian official, calling it a provocation.
“I believe that these actions are a rather stupid provocation because I know that the Russian delegation even considered turning back and returning [to Moscow]. Since a session of the intergovernmental commission was set to be held, which is rather significant for the development of good economic relations, they [these relations] would have been undermined for a long period of time,” Zeman told TVBarrandov.
