"The critical conclusions and policy recommendations we submit to the Czech public are not intended to formulate a specific programme, and we are not issuing them as if they were the only correct opinion. The meaning of our work is primarily to open up debate among policy-makers, the public and experts on the means and aims of Czech foreign policy. We are convinced that such a debate continues to be very necessary," Antonín Berdych, Chairperson of AMO Supervisory Board, claims in the preface.
