President Petr Pavel has asked the Constitutional Court for an interim injunction that would allow him to attend the NATO summit in Ankara on July 7–8 before the court reaches a final decision in an ongoing competence dispute with the government. According to the court’s published filing, Pavel wants the government and Foreign Ministry ordered to include him in the Czech delegation, secure accreditation for him and his staff, and refrain from obstructing his participation. He argues that representing the state abroad at NATO summits falls within the president’s constitutional authority and reflects long-standing practice. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) dismissed the move as “ridiculous” and said the government intends to lead foreign policy itself.

The Czech Supreme Court has ruled that relatives of people who died as a result of complications linked to Covid-19 vaccination may be entitled to compensation for emotional suffering. The decision came in the case of a Prague man whose 77-year-old father died from a pulmonary embolism shortly after receiving a third vaccine dose. The court said close family members can claim damages if a death is proven to be causally linked to vaccination. The case will now return to a lower court, which will reconsider the son’s claim for compensation. The ruling clarifies how Czech compensation laws apply to Covid vaccination cases.

Czech football coach Miroslav Koubek says his team must believe in a possible upset as they prepare for a decisive World Cup group match against hosts Mexico. The Czechs have just one point from two games and will likely need a victory to reach the knockout stage. Mexico has already secured first place in the group and are unbeaten in 24 consecutive home matches at the Azteca Stadium. However, Koubek said his players should draw confidence from the March play-offs, when they eliminated Ireland and Denmark to qualify for the tournament. He also admitted he had been unhappy with the team's performances so far and expects a much stronger display in the final group game.

Dagmar Havlová has withdrawn her consent for the Václav Havel Library to use the former president’s name, according to a statement she provided to the Czech News Agency (ČTK) on Tuesday.
In the statement, Havlová said she no longer wished to bear responsibility for the way Havel’s name is being used and had lost confidence in the library’s current leadership and direction.
The Václav Havel Library requires permission related to the personal rights associated with Havel’s name in order to continue operating under its current title.
David Dušek, chairman of the library’s board of trustees, said the board was assessing the situation and awaiting further information from Havlová’s legal representative.

The prime ministers of the Visegrád Group (V4) met on Tuesday in the Hungarian town of Gödöllő, about 30 kilometres east of Budapest, and announced plans to strengthen regional cooperation.
“V4 is back,” Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said following the summit, his first as host of a Visegrád Group meeting.
Cooperation among the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia has been strained in recent years, largely due to differing positions on Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched in February 2022.
The four leaders — Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Hungary’s Péter Magyar — agreed to meet in the V4 format before every major European Union summit in order to coordinate and advance their shared interests.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš welcomed the revival of the grouping and the renewed consensus among its members.
