Officials acted with a deadline looming: the statue, an imposing bronze winged lion, is to be unveiled in less than three weeks. The problem is that the site was not approved by the National Heritage Institute, which says the location is highly inappropriate. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/raf_lev.jpg?timestamp=1590790445 Location for Winged Lion memorial not suitable, say conservationists https://english.radio.cz/location-winged-lion-memorial-not-suitable-say-conservationists-8294018 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
