Bohumil Hrabal's newly-renovated cottage in Kersko in the Nymburk region will open to the public on May 18, on the occasion of the Hrabal Kersko Festival, the Czech Press Agency reported. The Central Bohemian Region and the Polabské Museum, who jointly manage the property, announced that it is in the final stage of reconstruction. The cottage is being restored to its original state when the late Czech author spent his summers there. Earlier this year the local authorities asked the public to help furnish the interiors by donating specific period objects from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Hrabal bought the cottage, where he wrote most of his books, in 1965. He died on February 3, 1997.

Slovenia will support the Czech initiative to purchase shells for Ukraine from outside the European Union, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský said on Tuesday during a working visit to Ljubljana. According to the Slovenian news agency, the government will allocate one million euros in support of the project.
Later today, the Czech foreign minister will hold talks in Ljubljana with his counterparts from Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria and Hungary. The C5 meeting of Central European states will cover EU enlargement and decision-making processes, aid to Ukraine and measures to curb illegal migration.
There are divides among the five countries on continued military support for Ukraine and also the decision making mechanisms in the EU, with Slovakia and Hungary refusing to provide Ukraine with further military aid and insisting that EU member states retain the right of veto in foreign-policy decision making. Regardless of the differences, Minister Lipavsky recently stressed that it is important to maintain dialogue.
