DIPLOMACY CZECHIA WELCOMES FINLAND INTO NATO

Czechia today welcomes Finland’s accession to NATO – the Nordic country is the
organization’s 31st member. Finland shares a 1,340-kilometer border with Russia
and has joined to strengthen its protection from any Russian threat.

Minister of Defense in Czechia Jana Černochová tweeted that “[Russian President
Vladimir] Putin wanted to prevent NATO’s borders from expanding, and has
achieved the exact opposite. We thus gain an important and strong ally.” The
Czech army wrote that “we couldn't have asked for a better gift for the
anniversary of NATO’s founding.”




EVENT FIRE BREAKS OUT IN CZECH OBSERVATION TOWER

A sizable fire broke out last night at the 581-meter-high Vlčí hora observation
tower in the town of Krásná Lípa, Ústí nad Labem. Town mayor Jan Kolář said that
the building next to the tower has completely burnt down.

Total damages are estimated at CZK 2 million. Firefighters posted on social
media this morning that they were still extinguishing the fire in the tower,
which was built in the 1880s. Authorities are still investigating the cause of
the fire.

HEALTH SUPPLY OF DIABETES MEDICINE RUNS OUT IN CZECHIA

A type of medicine for diabetes has run out in Czechia and will be unavailable
for about two weeks. Ozempic, which is also used as a weight-loss drug, can be
replaced by other, similar drugs – however, this requires a new doctor’s
prescription.

According to the Ministry of Health, this medicine was originally supposed to be
unavailable for a few months. The use of Ozempic has increased rapidly in the
past year due to its weight-reduction effects.

attitude towards nuclear energy, which they consider to be essential for the
energy mix in terms of energy security and environmental goals.

The countries agreed to obtain enough nuclear fuel from non-Russian sources as
fast as possible, with Slovakia discussing ways to secure sufficient nuclear
fuel from a responsible supplier to ensure a stable supply of electricity to the
grid. The Czech Republic and Slovakia have averted an energy crisis, but it is
important to think about the future.

Czech Minister for Regional Development Ivan Bartoš and his Slovak colleague
Veronika Remišová told journalists Monday that the first calls for the Interreg
Slovakia-Czech Republic cross-border project are this month. According to
Remišová, financing can go towards mitigating the effects of climate change,
protecting monuments, or the cooperation of municipalities and other
institutions.

of 107 million euros (2.5 billion crowns), covers the territory of the Zlín,
Moravian-Silesian, and South Moravian regions in Czechia, and the Trenčín,

PUBLIC TRANSIT METRO, TRAMS STILL NOT BACK TO PRE-PANDEMIC PASSENGER NUMBERS

Trams, buses, and the Prague metro transported 1.8 billion passengers in
domestic cities last year, which is the third worst result in at least the past
two decades, iDnes reports. The number was still better than those in 2020 and
2021, which were marked by transport restrictions related to the coronavirus
pandemic.

An outlier in the statistics in Karlovy Vary, where public transport had 35
percent fewer passengers due to a plunge in the number of tourists from Russia
due to a ban that came into effect last October.
