YEREVAN, MAY 17, ARMENPRESS: The Czech Republic has opened its
diplomatic mission in Armenia in the building of the Polish embassy
in Yerevan, Press Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tigran
Balayan briefed Armenpress.
The Czech embassy in Yerevan will have only one employee, charge
d'affaires Petr Mikyska. Formally it will be subjected to the Czech
embassy in Tbilisi in the neighbouring Georgia.
Mikyska will deal with the political and economic agenda in Armenia
and he will be prepared to provide help to any Czech citizen in need.
Given the limited capacity of the new mission in Yerevan, Armenia will
continue to fall under the consular office in Tbilisi. Short-term
visas for Czechs would be issued by the consular office of the
Polish embassy.
Armenia opened its diplomatic mission in Prague in 2011. Armenia is
one of the six former Soviet republics participating in the Eastern
Partnership project launched in 2009.
The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, which form the
Visegrad Group (V4), agreed previously that they may have joint seats
of their embassies in order to save money.
The Czech Foreign Ministry said the new mission in Yerevan is the
first example of Czech-Polish cooperation in this respect. It said it
was one of the models of having missions in some parts of the world
and cutting the running costs at the same time.
