The Czech government has approved a much smaller network of fast-track zones for renewable energy projects than originally planned. The area designated for accelerated permitting of wind farms was reduced to about 300 square kilometres, roughly 11 percent of the area proposed by the previous government. Industry Minister Karel Havlíček (ANO) said the move balances local concerns with the need to meet Czech commitments to the European Union. Environmental groups criticised the decision, arguing it will slow the development of renewable energy, while the renewable energy industry said faster permitting is needed both inside and outside the designated zones.

People in the Czech Republic generated 538 kilograms of municipal waste per person in 2023, slightly above the European Union average and the ninth-highest figure among EU member states. Despite that, a new analysis says the country has made significant progress in reusing recycled materials, with almost 15 percent of raw materials now coming from recycling. Experts say further progress is held back by limited recycling capacity, inadequate infrastructure and low public awareness. Although more items such as furniture and clothing are being collected for reuse, many still cannot be repaired or recycled efficiently.

Czech President Petr Pavel has sent a message of condolence to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier following Saturday's deadly attack at a Christopher Street Day event in Berlin. Pavel said such acts are an attack not only on innocent people but also on the values of freedom, human dignity and mutual respect on which democratic societies are built. He expressed sympathy to the victim's family, wished the injured a full recovery and said he was confident that the determination to defend those values would prove stronger than attempts to spread fear and hatred.

Officers said nothing they found suggested the threat was credible. One government ministry temporarily evacuated its headquarters before police confirmed that no explosive device had been found. Many other ministries, parliament, universities and public institutions said they had not received the threatening message. Authorities released no further details while the investigation continued.

The Czech Foreign Ministry has strengthened its travel warning for southwest France, urging Czech citizens to leave the Gironde department as major wildfires continue to burn out of control. The ministry said the situation remains critical, with evacuations still underway, and advised people in the affected areas to follow instructions from French emergency services. More than 300 Czechs are currently registered in France through the Drozd travel system. Wildfires are also affecting Spain, Italy, Greece and parts of North Africa. French authorities have already evacuated at least 220,000 people from the Gironde region, with extreme heat expected to fuel further spread of the fires.

Diesel prices in the Czech Republic rose sharply last week after government fuel price controls expired. The average price increased by three crowns to nearly 44 crowns per litre, making diesel more expensive than petrol again for the first time in about three months. Petrol prices also increased, though more modestly, rising to an average of over 42 crowns per litre. Analysts had expected a stronger increase in diesel prices because of limited supplies. Compared with a year ago, diesel now costs more than ten crowns per litre more.
