Czechia striving for Ukraine to appoint ambassador to Prague

The Czech government would like to see a new Ukrainian ambassador in Prague in the near future, Deputy Prime Minister Vít Rakušan said in a debate on CNN Prima News on Sunday. The post has been vacant for more than a year after Ukraine's last ambassador to the Czech Republic, Jevhen Perebyjnis, returned home to take up the post of Ukraine's deputy foreign minister. Mr. Rakušan said he hopes to see a Ukrainian ambassador in the country within a matter of weeks or months.
