Kubice to visit restive Northern Bohemia

Interior Minister Jan Kubice is making his first trip to the region of Northern Bohemia since racial tensions erupted there three months ago. He will be meeting with ten local mayors in the town of Šluknov on Tuesday morning in an attempt to ease their concerns over the number of policemen in the area. Anti-Roma demonstrations in the region have been an almost weekly occurrence since August, when Roma allegedly carried out two violent attacks. The situation has settled down in recent weeks, though locals fear it is a temporary lull.
