Prime Minister: The government respects the UN Security Council's resolution on Libya; the Czech Republic will not participate in military operations

The government respects the resolution passed by the UN Security Council which enables, above all, the provision of protection for Libyan civilians against the brutal violence and gross violation of human rights which the Muammar Qaddafi regime has committed in recent weeks.

We welcome the fact that the Security Council also counts on the Arab League's active role in fulfilling the approved resolution, because the support of regional powers will be key to finding a stable solution which benefits the people of Libya.

The government does not count on the Czech Republic's participation in this military operation.

Petr Nečas, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic
