Czechia will make a major contribution to a NATO plan to boost the alliance’s international battle group in Slovakia, President Petr Pavel told journalists at the start of a NATO summit in Vilnius on Tuesday. Czechia will have one mixed battalion in Slovakia, he said.
Reinforcing international units on NATO’s eastern flank is central to collective defence plans being discussed in Vilnius, with troop numbers in such groups expected to reach up to 5,000.
At the end of last year the Czech-headed unit based in Slovakia’s Lešť had 1,000 soldiers.

The Czech president, Petr Pavel, says that Ukraine will probably have to negotiate with Russia on the basis of whatever military successes it achieves this year. Speaking at the start of a NATO summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on Tuesday, Mr. Pavel said it was realistic to expect that the window of opportunity for Ukraine to gain territory would more or less close by the end of 2023.
The Czech head of state said the Ukrainians were slowly gaining territory and were probably looking for weak points in Russia’s defences, adding that they still had not deployed the significant forces at their disposal.
Mr. Pavel said, however, that the time in which they could move the front was shortening; not only will winter approach – there will also be elections in the US, Russia and Ukraine itself, he said.

The Czechs had success in all their doubles matches at Wimbledon on Monday, with Adam Pavlásek winning the second round of the men's doubles with Uruguay's Ariel Behar 7(7)-6(3), 6-1 against France's Fabrice Martin and Germany's Andreas Mies, and four Czechs winning in three matches in the women's doubles. Marie Bouzková won her second round match with Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo against Taiwanese sister duo Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan 6-4, 6-4, Barbora Strýcová won with Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei 7-5, 7(7)-6(4) in the round of 16 against Japan's Miyu Kato and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi, and the Czech duo of Markéta Vondroušová and Miriam Kolodziejová beat Romania's Elena-Gabriela Ruse and Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in the second round 1-6, 6-1, 6-4.
However, Czech tennis players were not so lucky in the singles. Jiří Lehečka lost 6-4, 6-2 to Daniil Medvedev (Russian but competing under a neutral flag) in the round of 16 before retiring from the match due to an injury, and Petra Kvitová lost 6-0, 6-3 in her round of 16 match against the Tunisian player Ons Jabeur. The only Czech left in the singles is Markéta Vondroušová, who will be competing in the quarter-final against US player Jessica Pegula on Tuesday afternoon. Four doubles matches featuring Czech tennis players are also taking place on Tuesday afternoon.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has extended its high temperature warning until Tuesday, and until Wednesday for the eastern part of the country. People have been warned to stay out of the sun, use sunscreen and increase their intake of liquids.
In view of the dry and extremely hot weather, a fire warning remains in effect across the country until further notice. Meteorologists say that despite the localised severe thunderstorms predicted on Monday afternoon and evening, the risk of wildfires will not be significantly reduced. There is a ban on lighting fires outdoors and mounted police are patrolling the Bohemian Switzerland National Park which was ravaged by a devastating fire last year.
Czechia has been experiencing a heatwave since Saturday, with Sunday being the hottest day of the year so far, breaking temperature records for July 9 at most monitoring stations around the country. The highest temperature for that day was registered in Doksany in the Litoměrice region, where it reached 36.4 degrees Celsius.
