PRAGUE, November 24. /TASS/. Czech President Milos Zeman said that the republic supports the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.

The Czech leader, who is on an official visit to Russia, said this in an interview with Prague's Barrandov TV channel, which was broadcast late on Thursday.

"I can express the Czech Republic’s support to the Nord Stream-2. I am glad that the Czech Republic has its own stance (on this issue - TASS) and protects its own interests," Zeman said.
