Nearly 3.4 million people visited state-owned castles, châteaux, and heritage sites managed by the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ) by the end of August, a year-on-year increase of six percent, the Institute reported. The most popular destinations remain the châteaux of Lednice, Český Krumlov, Hluboká nad Vltavou, and Karlštejn Castle. Close behind this year is Trosky Castle, which recorded one-third higher attendance compared to last year, a rise attributed to the popularity of the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which was partly set there.

The Czech Republic could secure more than €2 billion (CZK 50.1 billion) from the EU’s new Safety Fund (SAFE), the European Commission said on Tuesday. Nineteen member states have applied for loans to fund military equipment purchases, with €150 billion (CZK 3.7 trillion) earmarked for the program. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala announced in July that Prague was seeking a CZK 52 billion loan to acquire German Leopard 2A8 tanks. Defence ministry spokesperson Karel Čapek said that the tanks would be purchased even without the loan, since funding has already been secured from the state budget, but added that SAFE could allow for more favourable financing.

The overnight Russian drone attack on Ukraine, which also struck Polish territory, is, according to Prime Minister Petr Fiala (Spolu), a test of the NATO countries' defense capabilities. He stated that the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin poses a threat to all of Europe and is systematically testing how far it can go. In a statement on the X platform, Fiala praised the effective response of Poland's air defense.
Czech politicians from across the board have condemned the incident. They expressed solidarity with Poland and called for a clear response from NATO. Some urged tougher sanctions against Russia and stronger defenses along the Alliance’s eastern flank.
“No one is safe. And no one can say that this war does not concern us” President Pavel said in response to the news.
The government is set to address the situation at its meeting on Wednesday.
