Employees of Russian embassy in the Czech Republic and their families queue near a check-in desk to register for a flight at the Vaclav Havel Airport as they prepare to depart to Russia from Prague, the Czech Republic. In April, the Czech Republic expelled 18 Russian diplomats over the Kremlin's alleged involvement in the Vrbetice arms depot explosions. Moscow responded by expelling 20 Czech diplomats. The Czech authorities then announced plans to limit the number of Russian Embassy staff in Prague to match the size of the Czech Embassy in Moscow (going forward both embassies will have 32 employees).
