The Czech Republic is home to over one quarter of the 46,000 Russian-linked firms in the EU, highlighting its significance as a business hub for Russian investors.
Pavel Havlicek notes, 'A business project or property purchase is now the easiest route for Russians to secure a Czech residency permit,' reflecting growing investment amidst tension.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala expressed concern, stating, 'We cannot avoid a deeper discussion on how to approach countries where Russian influence threatens our security.'
Despite EU sanctions, individuals like Oleg Deripaska manage to maintain influence, prompting Czech agencies to express caution regarding the growing Russian presence.
