Top officials meeting to coordinate foreign policy line

The country’s top officials are to meet with President Miloš Zeman at Lany Chateau on Tuesday for their quarterly session aimed at coordinating their stand on foreign policy issues.

They are expected to discuss the course of the Brexit talks, the EU’s new plan to deal with migration, relations with China and Russia and the situation in the Middle East.

The meetings are traditionally attended by the prime minister, the heads of both chambers of Parliament and the ministers of foreign affairs, interior and defence.

This time the president failed to invite the speaker of the Senate, Miloš Vystrčil, on the argument that his trip to Taiwan had violated the country’s foreign policy line.
