Czech Prime Minister Petro Fiala stands by his claim that Saturday's anti-government demonstration was instigated by pro-Russian forces. He wrote about it on Twitter.
"I stand by my statement, which did not belong to the protesters, but to the organizers. The demonstration was organized by members of the Russian fifth column. There is enough evidence. Just look at who was on stage and what they said," the message reads.
I received a journalist's question, do you regret your Saturday decision?

Fiala added that, according to the organizers of the action, the solution to the problem of expensive energy carriers is leaving NATO and the EU.
"They want to make us a vassal of Moscow again. We need to talk about this and oppose it. There is a way to manage expensive energy - we are finalizing a national solution, we are also working on a European project. It will become clear in September. We do not underestimate the fears of citizens... I am convinced that on such dubious measures will not have to go public. It will not help anyone with expensive bills," Fiala wrote.
We will remind, on Saturday, tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of Prague for a demonstration against the government, as well as with a demand for a dialogue with Russia.
