Foreign Ministry : Prague shouldn't help Kiev with lustrations.

Zaorálek says the Czech government doesn't intend to meddle in Ukraine's internal affairs

"I cannot prevent various nonsenses from emerging, but I can prevent them from making it through," Zaorálek (Social Democrats, ČSSD) told Právo.

He said the idea of the Czech help with lustrations goes counter to his idea of how projects should look like.

"We do not want projects in which the money would end in officials' pockets, or projects of a political character. It is definitely not our intention to meddle in Ukraine's internal affairs," Zaorálek said.

"Czech projects [in Ukraine] should benefit people, for example our help with the insulation of kindergartens or equipping of hospitals," he is quoted as saying.
