Cabinet to earmark funds to Czechs participation in EU missions

The Czech government decided on Monday to earmark 115 billion crowns to finance Czech participation in civilian missions of the European Union and other international organisations this year, which is three times more than last year. The highest sum, altogether 14 million crowns, will go to the Czech Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan and 36 million crowns to finance civilian projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iraq, Kosovo, Liberia and Palestine.
