    Czech President Petr Pavel on Tuesday said that he had filed a lawsuit against the government, challenging Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s decision to not include him in the government delegation attending the NATO summit in Ankara in July.

    The competency suit, which was lodged with Czechia’s Constitutional Court, asks for clarity on who has the authority to decide whether the head of state may attend the NATO summit. The court is due to take up the matter during its plenary session on Wednesday.

    In a statement, Pavel argued Babiš was trying to “exclude” him from the summit, and thus “limiting the role granted to him by the Constitution.”

      Yeah, it’s a pretty particular situation when one has Czechian President Pavel trying to fight the PM Babis, and on the other hand, the Hungarian PM Magyar trying to oust his President, both because they fight for more democracy.
