Current Affairs Czech Foreign Ministry starts new initiative to support democracy in totalitarian countries
The Czech Republic as a country with its own bitter experience of communist rule often enlists in events promoting democracy in totalitarian countries. The latest initiative has been aimed to encourage the transformation of society in Iraq. This initiative lay not only in financial investment but also in cooperation with non-governmental organizations and local partners. The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs has now established a new department called the "Section for Transformation Promotion", which will build on this experience and evolve similar projects in different parts of the world. The head of the department Gabriela Dlouha lists countries, which should be in focus, apart from Iraq.
