US, British troop convoy to cross Czech Republic

A convoy of British and US troops will on Saturday cross the Czech Republic on their way from Germany to Poland to take part in NATO exercises. Around 550 soldiers with around 125 pieces of heavy equipment will form the convoy. They are expected to cross the western Czech border at Rozvadov at around 9 am and will stay overnight at Stará Boleslav. They should enter Poland on Sunday. Three similar convoys have crossed the country in the past two years with the first welcomed by thousands of people at various stops along the way.
