The media learned about the purchase of a globe by the Czech prime minister to search for Greenland

Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis announced on January 19 that he had bought a large and beautiful globe to get a better orientation on the location of Greenland.

"I bought a globe for this, <... It's so beautiful and big to see exactly where Greenland is," Novinky quotes him as saying.
