Czechia withdraws lawsuit against European Commission

The Czech government has decided not to continue the legal dispute with the European Commission started by the previous government of Andrej Babiš over a blocked subsidy, news site irozhlas.cz reported on Thursday. The subsidy, intended for the modernisation of a chicken farm in north Moravia, was withheld by the commission due to a conflict of interest with former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's Agrofert company. The current government of Prime Minister Petr Fiala does not want to continue the dispute, the Czech News Agency reports.
