    Chief-of-Staff Ales Opata

    Only a military torso is left due to years of neglecting of the Czech army, and it is no time for slowing down the military upgrading now, Chief-of-Staff Ales Opata told a military command meeting today, on Tuesday, February 25, 2020. We must reinforce the torso once again. The Russian equipment really is not our path anymore. The allies are moving away from us and the potential enemy is getting a generation ahead of us, he said. The military has been suffering enough in the recent years, he said. Opata said his priorities are soldiers, the military's rearmament, quick-impact-projects, the command and control system, and gaining new capabilities. He recalled that the Czech Republic repeatedly pledged at NATO summits to annually spend 2 percent of the gross domestic product on the military in 2024. Some Czech politicians have recently challenged this pledge. Opata said defence spending of 2 percent of GDP is neither money for the soldiers nor money for the army. It is two percent for our defence, he pointed out. Defence Minister Lubomir Metnar (for ANO) said he considers his main goal to defend the stable and predictable financial framework of the military in the government and parliament.

        Konev's monument in Prague to be veiled, statue of Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev, scaffolding

        Konev's monument in Prague to be veiled, statue of Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev, scaffolding

        The Prague 6 Town Hall veiled the statue of Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev, building scaffolding around and covering it with a canvas to protect it against vandals today, on August 30, 2019, town hall spokesman Ondrej Sramek has told journalists. The Russian Embassy has protested against it. It called the veiling of Konev's statue in Prague repeated defamation of the memory of the Red Army soldiers who died in the fight against the Nazis for freedom of Czechoslovakia. Activist Jiri Cernohorsky removed the canvas from the monument this afternoon, but the town hall returned it to the place later. The police are investigating the activist's incident. The Konev monument was installed in Prague's western 6th District in 1980 in honour of his contribution to the liberation of Prague in 1945. Last year, the local town hall had an explanatory plaque installed at the statue also to show Konev's dark role in the suppression of the Budapest uprising in 1956, the Berlin Wall construction in 1961 and the Soviet-led military invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The vandals' attacks always met with protests of Russia. The town hall has now suggested that the statue be transferred to the Russian embassy complex, if possible. The Russian embassy sharply condemned the incident. It said the barbarous act was an offence to the memory of the Red Army soldiers who had died during the liberation of Czechoslovakia. The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the charge d'affaires of the Czech embassy in Moscow in protest against the act of vandalism. (CTK Photo/Libor Sojka)
