On the occasion of annual LGBTQI+ Baltic Pride festival which takes place in Tallinn this year, the Embassy of the Czech Republic has joined a group of like-minded countries that supports this endeavour as a sign of Czechia´s commitment to support human rights, including those of the LGBTQI+ community, and the principles of equality and non-discrimination.
Members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Estonia adopted a joint statement in support of the Baltic Pride, which will be shared through the participating missions´ websites and social media and which will also be published in the major Estonian media outlets.
