Many see the two year negotiating process as being fraught on both sides but the British ambassador to the Czech Republic, Jan Thompson, sought to be upbeat in a wide ranging interview with Radio Prague. She stressed how Britain wants to give guarantees fast to Czech citizens and Czechs doing business with Britain and how the ambitious negotiating deadlines should be met. And she also held out the prospect of ongoing close and friendly relations between London and Prague, perhaps even stronger when both countries were in the EU. Chris Johnstone asked first of all what the broad targets for Britain are in the upcoming separation talks. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/thompsonova_jan1.jpg?timestamp=1742292655 https://english.radio.cz/british-ambassador-prague-gives-brexit-assurances-czechs-sets-out-londons-8196653 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
