The UNESCO World Heritage Centre has asked the Czech authorities not to go ahead with plans to dismantle the historic railway bridge spanning the Vltava River at Výton and replace it with a new one. In a letter to the Czech Culture Ministry the Centre argues that the historic bridge is an important part of Prague's skyline and Prague's river panorama, which is one of the main reasons why Prague was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Moreover, the design of the new bridge has none of the elegance and sophistication of the historic one, UNESCO says. Critics of the plans to replace the bridge have welcomed the intervention. Over 15,500 people have signed a petition against dismantling the old rail bridge.

Poland will not allow its Turów coal mine, located near the border with Czechia, to be closed and will do everything in its power to keep it operating until 2044, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on a visit to the mine, adding that no court in Brussels could tell Poland how to handle its energy security, the Czech News Agency reports, citing Polish media.
An administrative court in Warsaw ruled last week that mining in Turów near the border with Czechia's Liberec Region should stop as it harms the environment. The prime minister rejects the court's decision and the power company PGE, which owns the mine and the adjacent power plant, plans to appeal against it.
The Czech and Polish prime ministers signed an agreement last year on February 3 to assess the impact of coal mining in Turów. The Czech Republic withdrew the lawsuit it had filed against Poland with the EU's Court of Justice after Poland paid Czechia EUR 45 million as compensation for the damage caused.
However, in February of this year, the Polish environment ministry approved mining in Turów until 2044. Environmental organizations then appealed against the decision to the Warsaw Administrative Court. According to them, mining threatens the environment primarily by destroying the groundwater in the vicinity of the mine.
