Czechs wants extension of criteria for Russia sanctions at EU level

Czechia wants to push at European level for an extension of the criteria for sanctions against Russia, Czech Television reported, citing Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Daniel Drake.

He said greater efforts should be taken to prevent the circumvention of the sanctions and that the concealment of Russian assets was becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Analysts estimate that about 40 percent of Russians doing business in Czechia have moved their assets since the war began, Czech Television said.
