US ambassador barred from Prague Castle by Czech president
BBC News ^ | April 5, 2015

Czech President Milos Zeman has said the US ambassador is not welcome at his Prague Castle residence, reports say.

The apparent snub follows remarks by US envoy Andrew Schapiro seen as critical of the president's decision to attend forthcoming World War Two commemorations in Moscow.

Several world leaders are boycotting the ceremony over Russia's role in the Ukraine conflict.

Mr Zeman is considered more sympathetic to Russia on the issue.

The US embassy has declined to address Mr Zeman's comments.

I’ll bet Obozo doesn’t even acknowledge the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War on April 9th.

You know, the one that actually ended slavery in the US.

Slavery was not ended. I know because Sharptone, Holder, Mullah Baraq and the Congressional Black Ca-Cas say so

It’s hard to pick a date that the American Civil War ended. In fact President Andrew Johnson didn’t declare the war ended until August 1866.

Will Zeman acknowledge the role of the anti-Stalinist Russian Liberation Army in liberating Prague?

Not holding my breath.

The Czech president’s restraint perhaps avoided the third defenestration of Prague.

Vasoff(?)’s army. You beat me to it most of them were Ukrainians. Funded and armed through Himmler they kicked the Russians and then the SS out. Offered surrender and turned the town Praha over to Czechs who promptly turned them over to the Russians. Who killed most if not all of them. Some of them made it through to Patton’s 3rd army lines in Bohemia who wanted to free Prague but was stopped cold by Rosevelt’s deal with Stalin. Patton protected them from being turned over.
