Czech leaders support unity of Ukraine

Zeman said it is not possible to invite a politician of a country where people are dying in the streets - reported the Ceske noviny on 19th of February.
The Czech head of state’s invitation to Mr. Yanukovych to visit Prague in April now applies to the country’s highest representative, not directly to Mr. Yanukovych himself, the spokesperson said - wrote the Radio Prague Sunday  on Sunday, 23th of February 2014.

By the opinion of  the Czech foreign minister, Lubomír Zaorálek, all possible action must be taken to prevent the possible breakup of Ukraine. He told that if Ukraine split into a pro-Western part and a part oriented towards Russia it would create a dividing line between individual spheres of influence and that the only legitimate force in the country was its parliament.

By the opinion of Czech president, Miloš Zeman, the rapid calming of the situation in Ukraine has key importance. He issued a statement on Sunday, according to which he regards the preservation of the Ukraine territorial territory as paramount.
