Police intervened on Tuesday morning at the campus of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague following a reported threat. Officers searched three faculty buildings – in Jinonice, Opletalova Street and at Hollar on Smetana Embankment – for a suspect. According to police spokeswoman Eva Kropáčová, no one was injured and there was no danger to students or staff. One person was detained in connection with the case, but was not found inside the faculty buildings. The intervention began around 8:30 a.m. and lasted roughly five to fifteen minutes. The alleged threat is now under investigation.

The Chamber of Deputies’ Mandate and Immunity Committee is set to recommend whether lawmakers should lift the immunity of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) and SPD leader Tomio Okamura (SPD) to allow criminal prosecution. Committee members have reviewed case files and heard statements from both politicians. This time, the committee is expected to advise the full chamber not to comply with the court requests. The plenary vote is scheduled for early March. The governing majority of ANO, SPD and the Motorists holds 108 seats in the 200-member chamber. Babiš faces charges linked to a 50-million-crown subsidy for the Čapí hnízdo resort. Okamura is accused of incitement to hatred over campaign posters. Both deny wrongdoing and call the cases politically motivated.

President Petr Pavel plans to receive the Motorists’ nominee for environment minister, Igor Červený, at Prague Castle before making a decision on his appointment. According to Prague Castle the meeting could take place within days.

The Motorists’ party proposed Červený on Monday in place of its original candidate, Filip Turek, whom the president refused to appoint over his controversial actions and statements.

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš expressed the hope that the president would proceed with the appointment.

Turek is expected to remain at the Environment Ministry as government Commissioner for Climate Policy. According to party representatives, he and Červený intend to work “in tandem.”

Opposition politicians have welcomed the new nomination. Environmental groups, however, have voiced concern that environmental and climate protection could be weakened under the proposed leadership.

The Czech Republic and Poland have made progress in resolving the long-standing issue of the Czech territorial debt to Poland, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said after talks in Warsaw with his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski.

Minister Macinka said the resolution would not involve territorial or financial compensation, but rather a joint flood protection project that would benefit both sides.

Under a 1958 treaty, the Czechoslovak–Polish border was straightened, shortening it by 80 kilometres. A subsequent comparison of territorial gains and losses showed that Czechoslovakia retained approximately 368 hectares more than Poland. Since 1992, Prague and Warsaw have held numerous rounds of talks aimed at resolving the matter.

During Monday’s talks, Minister Macinka described Poland as the Czech Republic’s closest neighbour after Slovakia. He said he would like to “relaunch” broader Czech-Polish government consultations across a range of areas, including security, energy and competitiveness. He also expressed support for continuing the Czech-Polish Forum to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
