US Senate Democrat leader says visa policy towards Czech Republic unjust

The Democratic leader in the United States Senate, Harry Reid, has said his country's visa policy towards the Czech Republic is unjust and serves no purpose, the Czech ambassador to Washington, Petr Kolar, said after a meeting between Mr Reid and Czech representatives. The Czech delegation was led by President Vaclav Klaus, who is on a week-long working visit to the US. While Americans do not need a visa to enter the Czech Republic, Czechs have to go through a complicated visa process to visit the US.
