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.
(…)
“I cannot imagine that the Czech ambassador in Washington would advise the US president where he should travel. And I will not allow any ambassador to have a say in my foreign travel plans.”

Mr Schapiro is quoted by Czech media as having said in March that it would “be awkward” if the Czech president was the only statesman from an EU country on the platform on Red Square.
