The Russian Embassy explained the relocation to a new address in Prague

The Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic has denied the information that appeared in local media, citing Czech foreign Ministry, that it ostensibly intends to use as a "new" official address in Prague to address their consular Department: street Korunovacni, 34.

Previously, the city Council of Prague has decided to rename the square and Pod kaštany (Under the chestnut), which is the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic in the area of Boris Nemtsov.

As stated in the Facebook message, city hall was notified by the diplomatic mission address of the Executive building of the Embassy, the area Under the Chestnuts, 1, which was the official address of the Russian Embassy, ceases to exist. Thus for retained Executive building street address Korunovacni, 36.

The Embassy has decided to continue to use this address as the official given the low probability of its renaming. It was reported to the Czech side.

"Surprised by the fact that the foreign Ministry of the Czech Republic so hurriedly made public the contents of this note, which bore a purely technical nature. One gets the impression that this story is intentionally trying to make political significance", — noted in Department.

It is stressed that the diplomatic mission remains in his house and not be moving anywhere.

"the Official address of the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic, as before, is the address of the Executive building of the diplomatic mission", — stated in the message.
