Czech President decries NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan

Prague, Jun 15 (Sputnik) - Czech President Milos Zeman at the NATO summit in Brussels on Monday denounced the alliance's troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, warning that it could turn the country into a new hotspot of terrorism, his spokesman said.
On May 1, the United States and NATO began pulling their troops out of Afghanistan. American forces are expected to leave by September 11, the 20th anniversary of terrorist attacks against the United States that sparked the so-called War on Terror by then-President George W. Bush.
