Czechia grants 33 exemptions from anti-Russian sanctions

The Czech Financial Analytical Office (FAU) has so far granted 33 Czech entities exemptions from anti-Russian sanctions since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, with 45 percent relating to the pharmaceutical industry and 37 percent to nuclear energy, Seznam Zpravy reported on Monday.

According to the news site, the exemptions were sought for example by the energy group CEZ, which operates nuclear power plants in Temelin and Dukovany, in order to continue cooperation with some Russian-owned engineering companies, Seznam Zpravy said.
