Only a small group of soldiers now remains there to maintain the isolated Czech base at Šajkovac in the northeast of the country until the very last troops leave at the end of next year. The withdrawal also meant the end of an eight-month tour of duty for the 16th Contingent of the Czech Army. Earlier today we spoke with the contingent’s press spokeswoman, Captain Magdalena Dvořáková. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/kosovo1_1.jpg?timestamp=1591449332 https://english.radio.cz/czech-army-ends-kosovo-mission-8568968 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
