TRADITIONAL NEW-YEAR MEETING WITH DIPLOMATS AT THE SENATE

He reviewed the past year as successful, mainly due to overcoming the consequences of the economic crisis. “Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about what is happening on the international scene, where we see unnecessary conflicts with the loss of human lives. I must also recall the tragic and brutal attack in Paris, “said Milan Štěch, reminding rampage of Islamic radicals.
