With sadness I have learnt that again, this time in Copenhagen, our open and democratic society suffered an attack with injuries and fatalities. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the victims and their families. All indications are that this is a political attack and thus an act of terrorism. The Czech Republic wishes to express its solidarity with Denmark and severely condemns any attempts to silence the free debate. We stand united with Denmark and European Union in upholding freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
