Czech Republic to donate over USD 8.5 million to Georgia

The Czech Republic is planning to donate at least CZK 150 million (over USD 8.5 million) to Georgia, Deputy Foreign Minister Tomáš Pojar said at a seminar on the situation in the country on Tuesday. The actual sum to be donated will be made clear at a donors’ conference in Brussels in October, Mr Pojar said. The Czech Republic has been critical of Russia regarding the recent conflict in the Caucuses, and was one of the initiators of the conference to raise aid for Georgia.
