1. Google Translate version of the letter:

   >The President of the Republic Miloš Zeman sent a letter to Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland.

   >Mr. President,

   >I am following the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border, which is caused by the bad intentions of those who do not hesitate to abuse the fate of others for their own benefit. As President of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, as well as a citizen, your neighbor and ally.

   >The border you are bravely defending is not only the border of the Republic of Poland, but also the border of the European Union and the border of a NATO member country. All EU and NATO member states should therefore respond to any threat and offer effective assistance.

   >The Army of the Czech Republic is ready to send its troops to help defend the border of the Republic of Poland if you are interested and if you meet the legal conditions. Members of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic are currently ready for an immediate transfer.

   >The decision to send the armed forces of the Czech Republic outside the territory of our country for a period of up to 60 days belongs to the government, if it concerns the fulfillment of obligations under international agreements on common defense against attack. I will work to ensure that the Czech Republic lives up to its allied commitments in defending our common security.

   >In addition to this specific offer of military assistance, I would also like to offer you the motto that was adopted in our country during the coronavirus epidemic, and which is also apt for the situation at your borders: “Together we can do it!”

   >With respect

   >Miloš Zeman
