A key role in the deployment was also played by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Bogotá, which helped coordinate the team’s transport and communication with local authorities.

The Russian Federation calls the deaths and injuries of dozens of civilians in Kyiv, following one of its largest attacks far behind the front line, “retaliation.”
Retaliation for what, Mr. Lavrov? For the fact that you invaded a neighboring country and, for the fifth year in a row, it still refuses to “give its consent”?
For those who plan, order, and even justify such attacks, the darkest place in hell is already waiting.
🕯️ Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Communist Regime
Today, we honour the memory of all those who were stripped of their freedom, dignity, and lives under the communist regime. Seventy-six years ago, Milada Horáková, Záviš Kalandra, Jan Bouchal, and Oldřich Pecl were executed following a fabricated political trial. These heroes gave their lives in the name of democratic values. We do not forget.🕊️
