Civic Democrats to boycott Czech MPs' trip to Moscow

A five-member delegation of Czech deputies is set to visit the Russian Duma in early November, on the invitation of its deputy chair Sergei Zheleznyak. Most other parties in the Czech lower house said they would back the trip depending on its agenda.
