The Czech Republic is wary of reports that it has been "vowed to be destroyed" by the IS organization.
The Czech Republic is reacting cautiously to the "destruction" threat from a video attributed to the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) and has not yet concluded whether the information is true or false.

According to CTK news agency, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka stated on November 25th that the IS threatening video should not be taken lightly and instructed security agencies to carefully examine it.
Earlier, the Arabic-language daily Al-Hajat published a new IS propaganda video clip in which the Czech Republic was listed among the 60 countries of the "unholy alliance," becoming a sworn enemy of the extremist Islamic organization.
This video lists the flags of the Czech Republic, all other NATO member states, Arab countries participating in airstrikes against IS, the Russian Federation, and China... The Czech Republic, as well as other countries in the "bad coalition" that IS has vowed to destroy.
The video was subsequently published by Western online news outlets, creating psychological pressure on the Czech people, even though its authenticity has not been confirmed.
Czech Republic Minister Milan Chovanec humorously remarked on his personal page, "It's no shame that we are among the most developed countries in the world."
He also said that the Czech Republic "has been thrust into a war against insidious and fanatical terrorism" and he was confident in ultimate victory.
On the other hand, Minister Milan Chovanec also stated that the enhanced security measures implemented in the Czech Republic following the terrorist attacks on the evening of November 13th in Paris will continue at least until the beginning of 2016.
The website Novinky.cz quoted Minister Chovanec as saying that from now until the new year, Czech cities will frequently experience large gatherings in public places, so security measures cannot be neglected. After that, depending on the changing global situation, security will be adjusted, either tightened or loosened.
In addition to strict security at international airports and the French Embassy in Prague, shopping centers also saw increased police patrols during the busiest shopping season of the year for Czech citizens, coinciding with Christmas.
