RFE/RL plans move to new headquarters


Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s HQ will move to Hagibor in Prague 10 from Wenceslas Square at the end of the year. At present, concrete blocks are scattered around the gate to the Hagibor area. “Those are benches [sic]. They have to be massive so they wouldn’t fly in the air in case of an explosion,” says Stepán Jirout from Orco, the project’s developer. The new facility will become one of the most guarded places in Europe.
