Czech military to make use of empty barracks near Prague

Czech soldiers will return to the barracks in Rakovník near Prague that were left empty after January 2014. New plans will increase the number of troops in response to the changing security situation, Defence Minister Martin Stropnický told journalists. The army is to return to Rakovník, 50 km west of the capital. Up to 600 troops may be stationed in the barracks then. The area may be used for military vehicles and for exercises of reserve troops, the Czech News Agency reported.
