Tight security measures enforced in Czech capital ahead of US-Russian summit

In Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic, police have started enforcing strict security measures in preparation for the visit of the US and Russian presidents. The Hilton and Four Seasons hotels, where Barrack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev will be staying, will be the most closely guarded locations in the capital. Police and security experts are also inspecting relatively busy parts of the city, along with potential high risk spots such as bridges and tunnels. In the capital, 1500 police officers were on duty on Wednesday, with roughly 5000 expected to be working until the presidents have left. Outside of Prague, the police are also intensively patrolling motorways that lead to the capital for suspicious vehicles.
