Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said this week his country will not break UN and EU policy and relocate their embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Babiš also said that his country is examining the possibility of relocating their cultural center from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem instead. The possibly of opening an honorary consulate in Jerusalem is also being examined – even though one already exists.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry has said in the past that the Czech Republic may move its embassy to Jerusalem and Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely is planning to visit the country soon to try to convince them to do so.

Last December, Czech president Miloš Zeman expressed public support for the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, saying he was “truly happy” and that “four years ago I visited Israel and said I would consider relocating our embassy. Sooner or later we will join the U.S. Every nation has the right to decide what its capital is.”

However, the Czech foreign ministry said at the time that the country only recognises West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and that the embassy will move “in accordance with negotiations” between Israel and the Palestinians. Last May, the local parliament voted for recognizing Jerusalem within the 1967 borders as Israel’s capital.

The statement by the Czech prime minister joins that of the Romania’s president, who on Friday said he objects to his government’s attempts to move their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said the country’s prime minister, Viorica Dăncilă, had not consulted him before submitting the draft resolution calling for the embassy’s relocation, and that such a move could only occur once a peace process between Israel and the Palestinians is completed.
