Prime minister to call for more effective security, will back energy union at EU summit

Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka will appeal for more effective security on the EU’s outer borders, for greater cooperation among European intelligence services and will back the European Energy Union at the upcoming EU summit. The mandate was agreed at the cabinet meeting on Monday. At the summit, Mr Sobotka will also reject calls by Great Britain for limits on EU free movement. British Prime Minister David Cameron announced in November that London was in favour of restrictions. Prior to the summit on Thursday and Friday, the prime minister is due to meet with counterparts from the Visegrad 4.
