“The document is aimed at developing systematic cooperation in the field of returning seized assets. Special attention is given to collaboration on identifying and recovering Russian assets located in the territory of the Czech Republic,” the statement reads.

Olena Duma discussed the agency’s achievements and the challenges ARMA faces in the asset search and management sphere.
