Russia will have to pay rent in Prague, Karlovy Vary and Brno

The real estate for which Russia should start paying rent includes a complex of apartment buildings on Schwaigerova Street in Prague and the buildings of the former Russian consulates in Karlovy Vary and Brno, the ctk news agency reported, citing the Czech Foreign Ministry. Earlier this year the government revoked a number of resolutions from the communist  1970s and 1980s, which gave the former Soviet Union the use of real estate for free  for diplomatic purposes. According to the cabinet, Russia is using the real estate for other than diplomatic purposes and there is no reason to continue to provide it free of charge. The rent demanded will reflect the situation on the real estate market.
