What happened at the Czech ammo depot
Bulgarian arms company EMCO, owned by businessman Yemelyan Gebrev, released documents via Bellingcat that indirectly confirmed the guilt of the Czech side in the 2014 Vrbetice blasts.
EMCO reacted after Czech President Milos Zeman confirmed the presence of the Bulgarian trail in the Vrbetice explosions. Czech intelligence services concluded that there were EMCO ammunition at the warehouses. Gebrev confirmed, including to The New York Times, that his weapons was indeed at the warehouse, but this did not mean that it was Gebrev s weapons that exploded.
EMCO also clarified in a letter to the Bulgarian prosecutor s office that it had no knowledge about other weapons at warehouses of Czech company Imex, nor did they know who let the Russian agents into the warehouses, and what they were inspecting there.
The Czech Senate called the 2014 explosions in Vrbetica an act of state terrorism against one EU member state, and therefore against the entire EU. As many as 67 out of 72 members of the Czech Senate voted for the relevant resolution, the Czech News Agency reports. The Czech authorities accuse Russia s GRU (The Main Intelligence Directorate) of those explosions.
The Czech senators also called on the government of the country to terminate the agreement on friendly relations and cooperation with Russia and reduce the number of employees of the Russian embassy in Prague to only one person. They believe that the incident in Vrbetica should be discussed at the level of the UN Security Council and the governing bodies of NATO and the EU. They also demanded Russia should pay the Czech Republic a compensation for those explosions and offered to exclude Russia from tenders for the construction of nuclear power plants and other critical infrastructure.
