Thousands head for NATO Days in Ostrava

Thousands of motorists have reportedly been heading for NATO Days in Mošnov, near Ostrava in the east of the country, an annual event showcasing NATO and Czech military technology. Traffic jams five kilometres in length or greater have formed as a result, leading to several hour delays. Last year, almost 200,000 people visited the airport in Mošnov for the respected military event and air show. The weekend programme will see some 72 presentations: on Saturday morning visitors were able to see both fighter planes as well as rescue helicopters in action.
