Consequently, Monday the 9th of September 2024 marks 80 years since another Belgian city, Liege, was liberated during the Second World War. To mark this important anniversary, a commemorative event was held, which was attended by Jakub Skalník, along with other ambassadors, who laid a wreath at the memorial plaque dedicated to the 17th Rifle Battalion of Liege. This unit took part in the liberation of Pilsen on May 6th 1945. The ceremony at the site of the resistance fortress, where 414 white crosses now commemorate the fallen, was also attended by Queen Mathilde of Belgium.
