Two busloads of extremists allowed to cross Czech-German border

Throughout the day police also monitored two buses with around 150 right-wing extremists that were allowed to cross into the Czech Republic from Germany. According to a police official, officers searched the buses but found no legal reason to turn the demonstrators back. Earlier, at a meeting on Saturday, Interior Minister Ivan Langer, Police President Oldrich Martinu, city representatives, health officials, and others met to discuss options, with the police agreeing to use all lawful means possible to prevent the right-wing march from going ahead.
