Special measures, including bans on traffic and parking, will apply on New Year’s Eve in the busiest parts of Prague’s historic centre, such as Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square and the embankment near Charles Bridge. The metro will run for up to two hours after midnight.
Police and municipal wardens will fine unauthorized use of fireworks. Hundreds of officers from the ranks of municipal and traffic police will oversee safety and compliance with fireworks regulations, police spokesman Jan Rybanský said.
Under an amendment to the law, people must now keep a distance of at least 250 metres when setting off fireworks near certain sites, including hospitals, care homes, shelters, rescue stations, zoos and beehives. Prague’s municipal ordinance goes further, banning fireworks entirely in the historic centre. The city has launched an information campaign in Czech and English posted in public spaces including metro stations.

The traditional aviation festival held in Pardubice for more than 30 years will move to a different venue for at least one year, the organizers told Novinky.cz. The Pardubice military airport will host JAS-39 Gripen fighter jets, relocated there due to the modernisation of the Čáslav air base and the Czech Air Force’s transition to F-35 aircraft.
The military does not want the Aviatic Fair, which draws thousands of visitors onto the airfield, to take place there for at least one, and more likely two years. Organisers are now looking for an alternative airport. Talks are scheduled for the first week of January in Hradec Králové, whose airport is seen as the most suitable option.

MPs from the governing coalition have proposed changes to make the employment of state officials closer to standard labour contracts. They plan to repeal the Civil Service Act and replace it with new legislation that would allow faster downsizing of the state administration. This would make it easier to dismiss officials, for example after a change of government. The proposal, submitted to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, was tabled by Libor Vondráček (Svobodní from SPD). Other authors include Radek Vondráček and Zuzana Ožanová (both ANO) and Renata Vesecká for the Motorists party. If approved, the proposal would abolish the current Civil Service Act regulating employment relations between the state and civil servants.

In the center of Prague, hundreds of police officers will be ensuring safety on New Year’s Eve night, and emergency medical services will also be reinforced. A rescue service station will be set up at Old Town Square. It will include the Golem rescue vehicle, which has 12 beds, as well as additional ambulances. Firefighters are also preparing for the celebrations and will have a unit on standby in the city center. However, they do not expect an extreme number of emergency call-outs. This follows from statements by their spokespersons. Police also reminded the public of a regulation in force since December 1, 2020, which bans the use of consumer fireworks in central Prague and other parts of the capital.

The state-owned enterprise Forests of the Czech Republic (Lesy České republiky, LČR) increased its gross profit by 13 percent year-on-year to 4.36 billion Czech crowns in the first three quarters of this year. The profit growth was positively influenced by higher revenues from timber, as the company increased logging by five percent to 6.2 million cubic meters. Revenues from its own products and services rose by a tenth to 12.04 billion Czech crowns. This was stated on Tuesday by Eva Jouklová, spokeswoman for the state-owned enterprise, to the Czech News Agency (ČTK). Forests of the Czech Republic manage nearly half of the country’s forests.
