PRAGUE, April 29. /TASS/. The Czech Republic’s Justice Minister Marie Benesova has told the Czech online resource novinky.cz there are several versions of the 2014 Vrbetice incident, alongside self-detonation of ammunition at warehouses in this village in the east of the country and the involvement of foreign secret services.

"I was present at the meeting of the government when this [Vrbetice incident] was discussed," she said. "My opinion is very close to that of the president [Milos Zeman] after we saw a report by the Information and Security Service (counter-intelligence - TASS). I mentioned some other possible versions."

Benesova refrained from elaborating.

"What are the versions? I cannot speculate about this here. These details cannot be disclosed. It’s all on the record, made during the government meeting," she said.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on April 26 said that the investigators were pursuing only one line of inquiry - an act of sabotage by foreign secret services. Earlier, Zeman said that alongside complicity of a foreign special service the investigators were probing into careless handling of ammunition. He did not rule out the row over the incident might eventually turn out an affair engineered by secret services.

On April 17, the Czech authorities claimed that Moscow was allegedly responsible for explosions at ammunitions warehouses in Vrbetice in 2014. The incident claimed two lives. After that the Czech Republic expelled 18 Russian diplomats on the suspicion they were agents of Russian special services. The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed a strong protest to Prague and declared 20 personnel of the Czech embassy in Moscow as personae non gratae.
