“Madame Commissioner relies on our support, like the others on this list,” the online publication denikn.cz quotes the statement of the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry, Jakub Kulganek.
The Czech minister promised that the European Union "will respond to sanctions" against Yurova.
He said that negotiations are being held in Brussels between representatives of the EU member states on the issue of the proper reaction of the European Union to the inclusion of some of the leaders of the community in the sanctions list of Russia.
It is expected that this topic will be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union.
On April 30, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that, on the basis of reciprocity, entry into the country was closed for eight citizens of EU countries and representatives of European structures.
