According to the information of the General Consulate of the Russian Federation in the city of Brno and the Czech authorities, the issue of the stay of six Russian tourists in the country will be positively resolved within a couple of hours. Murat Temirov, official spokesman of the Pyatigorsk Linguistic University told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Today, the Czech Republic has officially recognized the presence of a technical mistake, as a result of which the students had got into some lists with the persons prohibited from entering the Schengen territory. "They have firmly promised to us that the mistake will be corrected and the guys will be allowed to stay in the territory of the Czech Republic during the validity term of their visas," said Mr Temirov.
