The Czech Republic has announced it would not take part in the September 22 United Nations conference on racism in New York dubbed Durban III.
Prague cited concerns that the conference would be used as a platform to make “unacceptable statements with anti-Jewish connotations.”
“The Czech Republic will not attend the September top-level meeting and will not participate in any informal talks designed to pass a political declaration that is to ensue from them,” the Czech Foreign Ministry said.
