Poll: Czechs split over Kosovo

Czechs are divided in their views on the independence of the former Serbian province of Kosovo, a poll carried out by the CVVM agency suggested on Thursday. 36 percent of Czech citizens do not agree with Kosovo’s unilaterally declared independence while 34 percent believe the contrary. Some 30 percent of Czechs do not have any opinion on the matter. The Czech Foreign Ministry proposed earlier this week the Czech Republic recognize independent Kosovo but the government postponed its decision on the matter.
