Amazon faces obstacle to Prague ambitions

International e-commerce giant Amazon appears to be facing problems with its ambitions to build a European centre for returned goods on the outskirts of Prague. The local council at Horni Počernice has said that it will take a negative stance against the project and dispatch that to Prague City Hall. Amazon has said it has a target to open the giant hall which would employ around 3,000 people by the end of next year. Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Jan Mládek has warned that Amazon could easily take its investment elsewhere if it faces opposition to its plans.
