Government to discuss overhaul of crisis and defence legislation

The Czech government is due to discuss plans to revise the country’s crisis and defence legislation on Monday. The proposal, prepared by the defence and interior ministers, aims to improve the state’s transition to a wartime or defence economy and ensure essential services, industry, logistics and state institutions continue to function during emergencies. Ministers will also discuss the cost of measures linked to the current terrorism threat level and new rules on materials that can come into contact with drinking water. Other agenda items include flood protection measures on the Bečva River and Czechia’s participation in Expo 2027 in Belgrade.
