Athens Recalls Ambassador To Prague After Czech President Says He Is "Disappointed Greece Did Not Leave Euro Area"
Greece Recalls Its Ambassador To Prague, After Czech President’s Unacceptable Remarks On Grexit
A diplomatic incident with unknown outcome has occurred between Greece and the Czech Republic after the provocative statements made against Greece by President Milos Zeman. As consequence to Zeman’s statements, the Greek Foreign Ministry ordered its its Ambassador to the Czech Republic to return back to Athens “for consultations” as it is nicely said in diplomatic language. The Czech President has recently expressed his disappointed “because Greece has not exit the Eurozone yet.”
Speaking to Slovak news agency TASR on December 15h, President Milos Zeman said that he was "extremely disappointed that the summer negotiations between Greece and creditors did not ultimately lead to Greece’s exit from the euro area, although it looked quite possible."

He added that “the Czech Republic will join the euro area on the first day after Greece departs the eurozone.“
Right after Zeman’s statements, the Czech Ambassador to Athens was invited by the office of Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias for a protest note and a “diplomatic chat” during which the Greek side expressed its discomfort about the unacceptable statements of the highest Czech official.
The Greek Foreign Ministry reminded the Czech Republic that it was also Greece that had approved its entrance to the European Union.
The Czech Republic was given four days time to refute its President’s statements but Prague decided to insist on the tough line against Athens.
The Greek diplomacy could not but proceed to the next step which was to “call its ambassador for consultations.” In practice this means, that Ambassador Panayiotis Sarris has been withdrawn from the Czech Republic and he will remain in Athens until the issue is solved.
“We have requested our ambassador to return to Athens for consultation. This is in relation to the unacceptable statements made by the Czech president,” Konstantinos Koutras, spokesman of the Greek Foreign Ministry told dpa, adding that the Czech Republic had become a member of the European Union in 2004 thanks to Greece‘s backing among others.”
For better understanding of the “ambassador’s withdrawal”, note the similar incident in May 2010, when Turkey withdrew its ambassador to Israel after the assault of Mavi Marmara vessel where several Turkish citizens lost their lives.

Watch us leave MoFo
...and Tsipras is a fucking Judas.
Tell me you don't agree with the Czechs on this one. I'm pretty damned disappointed Greece didn't give Europe (Germany) the middle finger and take their chances out in the wild for a few years too.
Nobody likes a boot-licking lackey who turns his country into a vassal state of a despotic empire. Fuck Tsipras.
And by the way, how is Greece paying for all these ambassadors? In olives? No, in the blood of their citizens, sold to Germany for a few shekels (Euros). Probably better off just shuttering all the Greek embassies and put a sign on the door how to contact the nearest German embassy.
I'm just waiting for Greece to place sanctions on the Czechs.
...seriously though, why does Greece have AMBASSADORS anyway? Seems like a waste of tax money that they don't have to begin with.
Have to agree! As they are a province of Germany, why don't they save money and go through their masters ambassadors and embassies?
Even though the eurotit is getting a little dry, the greeks couldn't live without it
why so polite?

Really man, I am asking you nicely, I know you are within your right, but stop pasting that link, you do it on every comment, on every article, I've read it and it is mostly BS, it is mostly disinformation. It does not serve my cuase against the Establishment's, AKA Askhenzi-excrement's Agenda.
Nationalism finally making a comeback, yay! I can't imagine living under the Globalist dictatorship they are trying to install.
Absolutely wonderful! Czech don't need any Greeks(Geeks).
Fuck no! How will the Czech's survive without a greek ambassador?
Tsipras pulled his head out of his ass long enough to do something and *this* is what he does? Fucking buffoon.
He's a dumbfuck for wanting to join the euro under any circumstances.

Edit: of course I was fucking joking
The real question is why Greece has any ambassadors and what are they doing?
they are grovelling as all good sychophants do.
Ambassadors cost money and Greece is one broke ass country. Cost saving move.
Embassies should be a room with a desktop computer.
Where would the CIA guys hide?
Yeah I wanted them to leave to....unfortunately my Ambassador doesnt listen to whining pussies.
Just another squabble among the rats on a ship being tossed against the rocks.
He's not the only disappointed person. Half of the twenty-eight countries could leave and they never would be missed.
Brexit is slam dunk now Allah's million-man army is ravaging its way across Europe, en route to Calais. We will fight them on the beaches, and on the landing-grounds.
Up north we are also extremely disappointed they didn't leave.
Everyone is disappointed, specially the Greeks and those who support sovereignty and freedom. The Greeks are the perfect example of cowardice, and stupidity. They sold and gave away most of their assets, did not plan for an exit they just bluffed. Also the Eurozone, is still in peril because of these cowards. It would have been a win for everybody including them, If they had stood their ground and left.
I hate to say this, because I ike the idea of the Eurozone, but the Czech Republic is doing better than if it were to be in the Eurozone, why would they want to enter it?
The Czechs are in the EURO zone. They just don't use the EURO currency. Smart move!
“the Czech Republic will join the euro area on the first day after Greece departs the eurozone.“ ... probably meant the Euro currency.
Nope, they are in the European Union, but not the Euro zone
"The eurozone consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. Other EU states (except for Denmark and the United Kingdom) are obliged to join once they meet the criteria to do so"
"Nine countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) are EU members but do not use the euro. Before joining the eurozone, a state must spend two years in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II)"
The Czech people are fucking smart as hell, I love being married to a czech person. 10yrs now and its been an honor.. Im grateful. They are my family! Great people!
Greeks blew their big chance to renounce all foreign debt and start fresh with their own currency - they will eventually have to do it anyway, but now get a few more years of pain before it happens!
Rather than withdrawing their ambassador like a sulking teenager the Greeks should have just blown a big raspberry or mooned outside the Czech embassy ... and then got back to the more pressing task of re-building their economy.
Is that Uncle Fester?
It just keeps getting weirder every day!
The IMF would not allow them to repudiate sovereign debt, but they do now allow Ukraine to do it, changing the rules specifically for them. Especially since it wasn't legal for the IMF to do so for any nation at war or in a civil war, yet...
