Current Affairs Government passes bill on foreign missions
A vote in the lower house on Wednesday has ensured that the Czech Republic will continue its foreign military missions for at least another year. Following hours of debate on Wednesday, the government won a majority for the continuation of its missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo in 2009, although troop numbers will be lower than the government had previously hoped. Back in December a draft which would have boosted numbers in Afghanistan substantially was rejected. Even this time around, the government’s footing ahead of the vote appeared shaky.
