Two wolves in East Bohemia’s Broumov area fitted with GPS collars are exhibiting normal behaviour, moving across a vast territory and avoiding human contact, Miroslav Kutal, a large carnivores expert on at Brno’s Mendel University and scientific advisor to the project Hnutí Duha Šelmy, told the Czech News Agency.
Conservationists fitted the animals with GPS tracking collars this year in response to a reported close encounter between a wolf and a human in the area. The first month of monitoring both wolves did not yield any alarming information, they said.

The Czech prime minister, Andrej Babiš, has come out against plans to hold a meeting of Sudeten Germans in Brno later this month, Deník N reported on Wednesday.
Mr. Babiš told the news outlet that holding a congress of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft anywhere in Czechia was a bad idea. He said many in this country regarded the move as “provocation”.
A few months ago, the Czech PM refused to discuss the matter at all after talks with the premier of Bavaria.
The Czech lower house began a debate on the planned Sudeten German conference on Tuesday evening at the instigation of coalition party Freedom and Direct Democracy.
Millions of ethnic Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia after World War II. The Landsmannschaft has never held a congress in Czechia.

Czechia’s Federation of Jewish Communities has come out against a planned concert by US rapper Kanye West in Prague. The organisation said it was unacceptable for somebody who has publicly expressed sympathy for Nazism to perform in a country that experienced the Holocaust.
The artist, who goes by the name Ye, is due to appear at the horse track in Prague’s Cuchle district on July 25.
Other European countries have banned Kanye West from performing over his racist and anti-Semitic statements. He has also sold swastika T-shirts and released a track called Heil Hitler.

Unions at Czech Radio and Czech Television have denied that Tuesday’s meeting with Culture Minister Oto Klempíř on the planned overhaul of public media financing had achieved a breakthrough and brought their stands closer. According to the ministry’s statement, the two sides managed to find agreement in several key areas of the draft bill.
Czech Radio’s union representative said no tangible progress had been made and the public broadcasters had merely repeated their reservations to the bill, pointing out the dire consequences the reform would have in terms of pesonnel and output.
The unions declared an open-ended strike alert two weeks ago over a planned government law on public service media, which among other measures would shift broadcaster funding from licence fees to the state budget.
