Petr Ježek
Born in Prague in 1965. A graduate of Prague’s University of Economics, Petr Ježek joined his country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a diplomat. For some ten years, he held relatively high posts related to the country’s ties with the EU, e.g. heading the Foreign Ministry’s European Integration Department and serving as Deputy State Secretary for European Affairs. He also worked as chief of staff of then Czech Prime Minister Vladimír Špidla. In 2014, Petr Ježek was elected Member of the European Parliament on the ballot of the ANO 2011 party.
Contacts
A group of 46 Members of the European Parliament including Petr Ježek have addressed a letter to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to protest about the “trial” of Nadiya Savchenko.
The MEPs regard the verdict against the Ukrainian citizen, military pilot and member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the Ukrainian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, as illegal and fabricated.
The letter strongly criticises this politically-orchestrated shameful decision of the Russian court and call on the Russian Federation to stop violating international humanitarian law and, in particular, the Third Geneva Convention relating to the Treatment of Prisoners of War of 12 August 1949.
The MEPs remain very much concerned about an extremely fragile state of health of Nadiya Savchenko, particularly after she decided to renew a dry hunger strike, and demand her immediate release.
