"Putin emphasized that his (Zemana. - RT ) participation in the celebrations in Moscow on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory over Nazism will undoubtedly symbolize friendship and mutual respect between the peoples of Russia and the Czech Republic," the Kremlin’s website said in a statement. .

Zeman said earlier that he could cancel his visit to Moscow on the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War due to a negative assessment by the Russian Foreign Ministry of the law adopted by the Czech authorities on recognizing the victims of the invasion and subsequent occupation (Czechoslovakia) on August 21 by the Warsaw Pact troops in 1968 year.
