The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned Czech Charge d’Affaires Jiri Cistecky about Moscow’s tit-for-tat measures against Czech property assets following Prague’s sanctions on a Russian state-run company, the ministry said in a statement.

On November 15, the Czech Republic imposed sanctions against Russia’s Federal State Unitary "Enterprise for Property Management Abroad" (Goszagransobstvennost). The company, incorporated into the Administrative Directorate of the Russian President, manages numerous real estate properties owned by Russia in the Czech Republic, which have been frozen as a result of the sanctions.

"It was emphasized that Russia will employ all available means, including retaliatory steps against Czech property assets in Russia, to protect its legitimate interests," the statement said.
