Czechia’s new system for assessing threat of terrorism will have four levels

A new system for assessing the threat of terrorism in Czechia is due to have four levels, from low to critical, according to a proposal that will be discussed by the government next Wednesday. It will replace the current system, which includes a zero level for an ideal state and three levels of threat. The Ministry of the Interior has previously stated that the changes are not a response to the worsening security situation or current threats, but are an update of the system for today's security conditions.

The government will also decide on whether to apply the second level of threat in Czechia, marked with the letter B, until the end of 2025. According to the document, this is defined as a state in which there is no known specific threat of terrorist activities on Czech territory, but a significantly deteriorated international situation may significantly affect the security situation.
