Pavel and Babiš agree to changes in list of new ambassadors

President Petr Pavel and Prime Minister Andrej Babiš have agreed to four changes in a proposed list of new Czech ambassadors, the former said on Tuesday, adding that he would not comment on the matter further at present.

The previous government approved a list of new ambassadors but a resolution to that effect was revoked by Mr. Babiš’s cabinet in January. At that time, the minister of foreign affairs, Petr Macinka, said he would choose ambassadors in line with the current government’s priorities.

The president must put his signature to all ambassadorial appointments.
