DW: Czech Republic asks EU, NATO allies to expel Russian diplomats
Prague asked 18 Moscow officials to leave on the weekend over possible links to a 2014 explosion at a weapons factory.
Now, the Czech Republic is seeking "solidarity" from its EU and NATO partners.
The Czech Republic called on EU and NATO allies to expel Russian diplomats Tuesday, as Prague's diplomatic relations with Moscow continued to deteriorate.
Acting Foreign Minister Jan Hamacek said he would summon the Russian ambassador for a meeting on Wednesday to disclose further steps after the weekend's expulsion of 18 Moscow diplomats.
Prague identified the intelligence officers, and demanded they leave the country over links to an explosion at a privately-operated arms depot in 2014.
Moscow has denied any involvement in the blast that killed two people, and has since retaliated by expelling 20 Czech officials from Moscow.
