Moscow not to renew accreditation to Czech journalists in Russia

Moscow will not renew accreditation to two Czech journalists in Russia in retaliation against a similar move when Prague denied accreditation to two Russian journalists in the Czech Republic. The decision was announced on Thursday by Russia’s Foreign Ministry, the news agency RIA Novosti informed on its website. There are currently three Czech journalists accredited in Moscow; Miroslav Karas of Czech Television, Martin Dorazín of Czech Radio and Jiří Just of the news website Aktuálně.cz. It is not yet clear which of them will be denied accreditation.
