Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has expressed disapproval of a planned gathering of Sudeten Germans in the Czech city of Brno, calling the event "unfortunate." The Meeting Brno association, which is organizing the congress, has stated it will proceed with the event regardless of any potential parliamentary call to cancel it. The Sudeten Germans were ethnic Germans who lived in the border regions of Czechoslovakia before World War II and were expelled after the war ended in 1945, creating a sensitive historical issue that continues to generate controversy in Czech politics today.
