Last week the company, which claims it is owed close to ten billion crowns by the Czech state for damaging Diag Human’s interests, successfully applied to an Austrian court to order the seizure of famous Czech artworks on display in Vienna. Just days after two paintings and a sculpture from the National Gallery and the Moravian Gallery were impounded by court bailiffs, a Paris court has recognized a similar claim, putting Czech state assets in France at risk. Commentator Jan Urban, who has written a book about the longest ever arbitration involving the Czech state, says the Czech Republic has got itself into a bind. 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-republic-facing-serious-problems-diag-human-arbitration-case-8563190 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
