Czech Republic wants no escalation in relations with Russia
Prague alleges Moscowâs involvement in the 2014 explosions at arms depots in Vrbetice; in turn, Russian Foreign Ministry expressed its decisive protest
PRAGUE, April 22. /TASS/. Czech authorities are interested in correct relations with Russia and do not wish for an escalation, Prime Minister Andrej Babis said in the wake of the announcement of staff reduction of the Russian Embassy in Prague.
"We do not want an escalation. Czechia is interested in correct relations with the Russian Federation. We hoped that Russia would have recognized the inadequacy of its reaction [to the initial expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats], but our proposal on how to pacify the situation was left without response," Babis said.
