Nevertheless, many municipalities are taking measures, with 82 percent investing in greenery and 71 percent in rainwater drainage. Almost half plan to invest between CZK 1 million and CZK 10 million in water-management projects over the next three years.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Prague has rejected false reports that Poland is seeking to forcibly reclaim Czech territory, saying that Poland is among Czechia’s closest and most important partners.
Seznam Zprávy reported this week that a disinformation campaign was seeking to exploit a minor border dispute in a bid to stoke tensions between the two nations. The news outlet said Czech agencies were acting on the assumption that Russia was behind this campaign.
The Czech Foreign Ministry said on social media that the two sides were pursuing a practical and mutually beneficial solution to the dispute, which dates back to the 1950s.
Senior officials in Warsaw, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk, have highlighted Polish-Czech connections in online posts.
