The headline read "Embassy under Roma Siege" and the article reports on Czech citizens - apparently mainly Roma - who had failed to find a job in Britain and had no money to get back home, and were now demanding help from the Czech Embassy in London. However, when Radio Prague spoke with David Frous from the Czech Embassy in London, we learned that the situation was far less alarming than the Czech daily had suggested. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/czech-embassy-london-rejects-report-roma-siege-8086706 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
