After nine years, what remains of loans owed by Russia to the Czech Republic could be repaid

After nine years, what remains of loans owed by Russia to the Czech Republic could be repaid, according to Hospodarske noviny. The settlement will include a payment of 4.5 billion Kc and three cargo planes. Originally, Russia owed the Czech Republic $3.6 billion (97.2 billion Kc), but the Russian firm Falkon Capital bought a $2.5 billion claim from the Czech government for about 22 percent of its value, and the debt fell to $1.1 billion. Government officials would not comment on the report, saying the talks are secret.
