A court in the Czech Republic has ruled that a hotel owner acted legally when he refused accommodation to Russians over the annexation of the Crimean peninsula.<\/p>\n

Tom\u00e1\u0161 Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 protested Moscow\u2019s takeover of Crimea in spring 2014 by initially\u00a0banning\u00a0all Russian tourists, then making them sign a letter stating that they oppose the annexation. Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 was\u00a0fined\u00a0for violating anti-discriminatory regulations, and a Czech court upheld a reduced fine last year.<\/p>\n

The Czech constitutional court ruling on Tuesday\u00a0reverses<\/a>\u00a0the supreme court\u2019s decision and states that Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 acted rationally and in line with Prague\u2019s and the European Union\u2019s position toward the Crimean annexation.<\/p>\n

“The Constitutional Court concluded that the contested decision had affected the complainant\u2019s freedom of political expression,” it said.<\/p>\n

The case will return to the supreme court for review, according to the pro-Ukrainian Euromaidan Press news website. The website\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0that the Czech ruling sets an \u201cextremely important precedent\u201d across the European Union because it \u201cconfirms the illegality of Russia\u2019s occupation of Crimea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EU, the United States and other Western states do not recognize Crimea as Russian territory and have imposed economic sanctions on Russia. Moscow maintains that the Black Sea peninsula voted to rejoin Russia in a referendum.<\/p>\n
