The Czech Foreign Ministry this week put to work an extensive cost-cutting plan, and closed down the embassy in Angola, the consulate in Montreal and the cultural Czech Centre in the German city of Dresden. Later this year, the ministry is also planning to close more embassies in several other countries. Earlier I spoke to deputy foreign minister Hynek Kmoníček and asked him which embassies will be affected by the ministry’s saving measures.
