Archaeologists have discovered skeletons believed to be about 7,000 years old in Ostrožská Lhota near Uherské Hradiště in South Moravia. The human remains were discovered by builders laying utility lines. They reported the find to a regional museum, which carried out research at the site in July and August.
The archaeologists said that they had uncovered exceptionally well-preserved burial places of people from the Middle Neolithic period. They also found a number of shards of decorated ceramic vessels and a small ceramic arm, most likely from a figurine of religious significance.

One of the country’s leading psychiatrists, Jan Cimický, has been charged with four counts of rape and 35 counts of extortion. The cases relate to his former patients, with close to thirty women accusing him of sexual harassment or assault. Prosecutors originally proposed pressing charges against Cimický last October, when they accused him of multiple rape and extortion. But the prosecutor's office returned the case to police for further investigation a month later, pointing out that some of the cases were time-barred. The police proposed filing new charges in June of this year. The psychiatrist has retained his private practice throughout that time.

The two sides have now agreed to cooperate in creating a centre where they will be displayed. For the time being, Slav Epic is on display at the château in Moravský Krumlov in south Moravia.

President Petr Pavel has rejected claims that he damaged state finances by delaying the signing of an amendment to the pensions law. He said he signed the bill well within the 15 day deadline afforded by the law and noted that the government should have planned its timetable for the bill better. He also criticized the cabinet for not informing the public adequately about the forthcoming changes to early retirement pensions, so that people could prepare for them.
Labour Minister Marian Jurečka said on Czech Television on Sunday that the president’s hesitation in signing into force a bill tightening the conditions for early retirement and the subsequent one-month delay in bringing it into force will cost the state treasury up to 4 billion crowns. Thousands of Czechs close to retirement age scrambled to file for early retirement over the summer under more advantageous conditions and Jurečka said their numbers could increase by another 10,000 in October.
