Hi, Prague, - New Year!
Hi, Prague, - New Year!
As Czechs and Italians "have thrown" Russian. The past Monday
Has at once crossed out plans of the Russians, going to to meet New year
In Gold Prague. Having come in the morning to an entrance of Czech embassy,
To hand over documents on visa registration, they "have kissed"
The closed door. Without preliminary announcements consulate of Czechia
Has stopped the job. As its employees, "explain in connection with
The period of holidays ". Now to receive the treasured visa it will be possible
Only on January, 9th. Therefore and for Christmas to have a drink the well-known beer not
It will be possible.
At some firms, conceived to send tourists in capital
Czechia for the forthcoming holidays, redeemed places in planes and
Reserved rooms in hotels, "zavislo" to two hundred passports!
So the tour agencies specialising on trips to this country,
Are occupied by completely not pleasant efforts: have a talk with "thrown"
Citizens, pay penalties and persuade the perplexed
People to transfer a meeting of New year on couple of weeks.
The embassy days off are officially planned with 22 on 26
December. One month ago consul Ondrzhej Moravek has assured
Tour operators, that till December, 19th will accept inclusive
Papers and to give out visas, and after New Year's celebrations job should
Was to renew since January, 2nd. However it has in actual fact appeared,
That the word of the diplomat is possible.
According to the Russian association of tourist agencies, on the verge
Nervous breakdown there are employees of the firms sending Russians in
Italy. Having settled all possible ways of finding-out of relations with
The Italian consulate, they are ready to arrange picket under windows
Embassies. On the same ill-starred Monday have here again refused
To accept documents on registration of visas. Unlike Czechs
Italians motivate the actions of tour agencies by a re-registration,
Accredited at embassy in connection with additional measures
Safety. However to understand, who was preferred by representatives of this
The solar country, till now nobody can. While panic
turbiznesmeny which are assured that losses not to avoid, but
Any day unlucky travellers will sound the alarm. However,
Those who badly needs to get to Italy, can make it without
Problems, having laid out for the visa instead of $25 official - $400 "left"
To intermediaries.
It is interesting, that consulate of Finland, in which on New Year's
Night leaves much more our citizens, works faultlessly.
At an entrance of consulate of this cold country not merznet any
The person while aspiring to Prague have been compelled in
Frosty December days to occupy turn from three o'clock in the morning. But also
It has not helped them.
