The Czech Republic continues to a face a risk from “one-time agents” being used for sabotage attacks directed by Russia, according to a report from the country’s domestic intelligence service, known as BIS, published on Thursday.
The agency said the threat primarily concerned entities involved in the production or distribution of aid intended for Ukraine.
Last year Czech bodies were also the target of several cyber-attacks from actors linked to China, while hackers associated with Russia were also active in this regard, according to BIS’s annual report for 2025.

Over the past three years, the number of children in kindergartens fell by over 20,000, or by nearly 6 percent.
This trend is linked to the number of births in Czechia, which has been steadily falling for five years in a row.

The Czech Republic’s biggest brewery, Plzeňský Prazdroj, is set to increase the prices of its draught and some canned beers by 2.6 percent at the start of October, a spokesperson said on Thursday. Its flagship Pilsner Urquell lager has not gone up in price for three years.
A representative said the main reason for the increase in beer prices is the rising cost of materials and commodities as a result of the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz stemming from the war in the Middle East.

Czech MPs have overridden President Petr Pavel’s veto of a controversial amendment to budget rules, clearing the way for the legislation to take effect. The government has said the changes are needed to allow more flexibility in managing public finances, while the opposition fears they will lead to higher spending and state debt.
The amendment will allow the government to increase defence spending above approved budget limits for several more years than under current rules. Similar flexibility will apply to strategic infrastructure projects, while the government will also be able to exceed approved spending in the event of a worsening security situation.
The veto was overturned by 104 coalition MPs, with 72 opposition lawmakers voting against. The opposition plans to challenge the legislation at the Constitutional Court.

Czech hop growers expect this year’s harvest to be up to 25 percent below the long-term average, the Hop Growers Association said on Wednesday, adding that prolonged drought and high temperatures are also expected to reduce the crop’s alpha acid content, which determines hop quality.
Only about a quarter of Czech hop fields have irrigation systems, and even some of those lacked enough water this year. The government is planning reservoirs and other measures to improve water supplies in hop-growing areas.
The Czech hop-growing area has fallen slightly this year to about 4,800 hectares, with around 120 growers. About three-quarters of the country’s hop fields are in the Žatec region, home to the main Czech hop variety, Saaz. About 40 percent of Czech hops are used domestically, with the rest exported.
