Mr Vondra was under mounting pressure by the other coalition parties to step down over his role in a questionable 2009 government deal during the country’s EU presidency. The Civic Democrats also came out strongly against what they said was interference by other parties in their internal affairs. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/vondra1_4.jpg?timestamp=1591250892 https://english.radio.cz/civic-democrats-back-alexandr-vondra-defence-minister-8564846 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
