In 2023, the average duration of retirement in Czechia reached 24.62 years, an increase of 25 days compared to the previous year. The Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) writes that this marks a significant rise from 1989, when the average time in retirement was nearly 10 years shorter. The length of time spent in retirement has more than doubled in the last 50 years. Men saw a slight increase in pension duration last year, while women experienced a slight decline. Delayed retirement age adjustments help slow the growing duration of retirement, with the retirement age expected to reach 65 by the next decade.

The Czech government is moving forward with legislation that will require gun shops to report suspicious firearm and ammunition purchases to the police. The new law, supported by the parliamentary security committee, is set to be implemented by the end of the year, following delays from opposition ANO and SPD parties. This measure comes in response to a deadly shooting at Charles University in December. It will allow police to seize weapons from individuals deemed a security risk and monitor unusual purchases through the Central Firearms Register. Full legislative approval is expected by January 1, 2025.

The grape harvest is in full swing in Czechia, but this year's season has been challenging due to April frosts, mildew, and ongoing drought. The worst-hit regions are in Bohemia, where up to 90% of grapes were lost in some areas. In a rare exception, winemakers in the region can use grapes from Moravia to produce their wine. Moravian vineyards escaped frost but are now struggling with drought, leading to lower yields. Despite the difficult conditions, the quality of the harvested grapes remains promising, with good sugar content and acidity.
