The network discusses the political "cat and mouse", which events were called, concerning the “targeted” component of the Russian diplomatic mission in the Czech Republic. It all started with the fact, that the Prague authorities decided to rename the area, which is the embassy of the Russian Federation in Boris Nemtsov Square.
The Czech authorities did not give any separate comments on this matter., Unsubscribing to become the traditional "translation of the shooter" on the municipal authorities ". In turn, local media published materials about, that the renamed square “will now remind the Kremlin of the death of the opposition leader”.
Now it becomes known about the response of Russian diplomats. Czech media came out with materials, which tells, that the Russian embassy in Prague allegedly decided to change the legal address. This address instead of “Nemtsov Square” was Korunovachni street, 34. But this address was previously assigned to our diplomatic mission.. On it is the consular department of the Russian diplomatic mission in the Czech Republic. And this address is located just a few hundred meters from the embassy building.
In the Czech Foreign Ministry, commenting notice, coming from Russian diplomats, ascertained, that they will not challenge this decision, since it is administrative in nature.
From the Facebook post of the Russian Embassy:
In mid-March, a notification was received from the City Hall of Prague to the Embassy "on the termination of the address of the representative building of the Embassy: Square Under Chestnuts, orientation number 1 ", which was the official address of the Russian diplomatic mission. According to this notice, the representative building “retains the address: Korunovci Street, orientation number 36 ".
Considering, that the name of Korunovacni street is historical, used for over a hundred years and, we think, the probability of its renaming is much lower, than the toponym “Boris Nemtsov Square” that suddenly appeared in the Czech capital, The embassy decided to continue to use the address Korunovachni street, orientation number 36 as your official address.
In this way, it’s not about “moving” the Russian diplomatic mission, how rushed to present it in the Czech media, what any professional journalist could easily verify, checking the information in the real estate cadastre (good, it is available on the internet). The official address of the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic, as before, the address of the representative building of the diplomatic mission remains.
The Czech media initially announced “moving the embassy” RF.
As seen from the message, first, municipal authorities notified Russian diplomats that, what's the old address “Square Under Chestnuts” no longer exists. The Russian diplomatic mission gave its answer.
Recall, that earlier relations between Moscow and Prague were somewhat heated due to the decision of the authorities of the municipality of the Czech capital to dismantle the monument to Marshal Konev. Head of Municipality, calling the reason for the demolition of the monument, cynically stated: “He was without a medical mask”.
