America may drop visa restrictions for Czechs in two months’ time…

Czech Interior Minister Ivan Langer has said that America may drop visa requirements for Czechs on November 17 this year. The date, he said, was symbolic, as it marks the anniversary of the overthrow of communism. Czechs, who previously had to apply for a visa for any length of trip to the States, will then become part of the American visa-waiver programme, and amongst the first to go through a new electronic vetting system.
