A plaque engraved with the names of the victims was unveiled on Sunday at the memorial to those killed in the December 2023 shooting at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts in Prague. The ceremony was organized by the group Spojeni nadějí (United by Hope), the faculty, the university, and bereaved families. It included a moment of silence and a musical tribute on the steps of the Rudolfinum.
The December 21, 2023, attack claimed 14 lives, making it the deadliest shooting in Czech history. The 24-year-old gunman, himself a student, had earlier killed a man and a two-month-old baby in Klánovice forest, and on the day of the shooting also murdered his father, before taking his own life.
The victims are already honored by a three-meter-high wooden sculpture across from the faculty, unveiled in June 2024. The new plaque and planned landscaping will turn the site into a more dignified space for remembrance.

The Czech parliament’s foreign affairs committee will meet next Thursday to discuss Russian incursions into Polish airspace and other security incidents. Committee chair Richard Brabec (ANO) said the session will likely be closed due to the presence of intelligence officials. The meeting was called at the request of deputy chair Barbora Urbanová (STAN), who warned the situation has only worsened since the first drone intrusion.
On September 10, Poland reported 19 cases of Russian drones entering its airspace during strikes on Ukraine. NATO responded with a new mission to strengthen air defenses on its eastern flank. Days later, Warsaw accused Russian jets of entering the security zone of a Baltic oil platform, while Estonia reported Russian fighters crossing its airspace. Tallinn has since requested NATO consultations under Article 4.
Moscow denied the Estonian claims, saying its planes were flying a planned route from Karelia to Kaliningrad.

More than 1,000 people from Czechia and other European countries will take part in a reenactment of the Battle of White Mountain at Vypich in Prague 6, near the Hvězda Game Reserve, marking the 405th anniversary of the clash between the Protestant estates and Habsburg forces.
The battle will begin at 3:00 p.m., and spectators will be able to watch it at the same time on Sunday. The program will also include music, dance, lectures, and a market offering food and traditional crafts.
The Battle of White Mountain on November 8, 1620, saw the forces of Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand II suppress the uprising of the Czech non-Catholic estates. After the battle, the Czech lands remained part of the Habsburg monarchy until 1918.
