The president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, has appealed to the country's Constitutional court amid a dispute over his participation in the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara.
Pavel, who served in the Czech armed forces for more than three decades, took office in March 2023 and has attended every NATO summit since then.
But Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Monday that Pavel would not be included in a delegation travelling to Turkey in July, with only the PM and defence and foreign ministers set to go.
