They said that on June 1, the Czech ambassador was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a conversation with which the first deputy foreign minister of Russia, Vladimir Titov, expressed “bewilderment at the delay in Prague holding consultations on topical issues of Russian-Czech relations on the basis of the Treaty of Friendly Relations and Cooperation between the Russian Federation Federation and Czech Republic of August 26, 1993. "

“It has been noted that recently the atmosphere in bilateral affairs has significantly degraded, many problems have accumulated that were not created through our fault,” the message said.

According to the ministry, Russia is ready for a dialogue on this topic, however, "the ongoing destructive actions of the Czech authorities raise serious doubts about their desire to rectify the situation."

“It was emphasized that, depending on the reaction to our demarche, we will build further steps in relations with the Czech Republic,” the Foreign Ministry added.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the Russian embassy in Prague notified the Czech Foreign Ministry about the readiness of Russian diplomats to consult about bilateral relations, but has not yet received an answer.

In early May, the Czech Republic noted that they had proposed the Russian Foreign Ministry in the spirit of a bilateral agreement to discuss the current situation in relations.
