According to data from the Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office (NSZ), crime in the Czech Republic remained roughly at the same level last year as in 2024. However, cases involving high levels of aggression, especially among children, are increasing.
So-called “experience-driven violence” is also beginning to appear regularly — this refers to violent behaviour among children and adolescents motivated mainly by the desire to experience something, test boundaries, or gain an adrenaline rush.
In the Czech Republic, 186,858 new criminal proceedings were initiated last year, which authorities had to address and in which prosecutors supervised compliance with legal procedures. The year before, there were 189,912 such cases.

Czechs are showing the greatest interest this year in buying apartments in Italy, while last year Spain was the most popular destination. Year-on-year, demand for Italian apartments among Czechs rose by 18% between March and May, while interest in Spanish housing fell by 7%. This follows from an analysis by the real estate platform Sreality.cz.
In addition to Italy and Spain, Czechs also frequently buy apartments in Croatia and Austria. The interest in foreign properties may be driven by more attractive locations, but also by lower purchase prices compared to the Czech Republic.

The new Archbishop of Prague, Stanislav Přibyl, today received the pallium from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. The pallium is a ceremonial liturgical vestment worn by senior Church leaders and symbolizes an archbishop's pastoral authority and service to the faithful.
The presentation took place during Mass in St. Peter's Basilica as part of the feast celebrating Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is a long-standing tradition for the Pope to bless pallia on this feast day for metropolitan archbishops appointed during the previous year. This year, the Pope blessed pallia for 35 metropolitan archbishops from around the world.
Archbishop Přibyl is now the second current pallium bearer in the Czech Republic. The other is Josef Nuzík, who received the pallium in 2024 from the late Pope Francis.

Increasing teachers' salaries to 130% of the average wage in the Czech Republic would require boosting next year's education budget by CZK 35 billion, Daniel Münich of the IDEA think tank at CERGE-EI stated today.
According to Münich, bringing the education budget up to the average level of spending among member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) would require an additional CZK 40–50 billion. This year, the Ministry of Education is operating with an approved budget of CZK 284 billion. However, according to experts, next year's education budget should be at least CZK 334 billion. This amount corresponds to the share of gross domestic product that OECD countries spend on education on average.

The Czech government is due to announce the final composition of the country's delegation to this week's NATO summit in Ankara on Monday, following weeks of dispute over President Petr Pavel's participation.
In an interim order issued last week, the Constitutional Court instructed the government to include the president in the delegation after it had originally approved a list that excluded him. However, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka insists the court did not overturn the government's decision naming Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to lead the delegation. On Sunday, Macinka only indirectly confirmed that President Pavel had been accredited in line with the court's order.

Two-time Olympic champion Lukáš Krpálek won bronze in the over-100kg category at the Judo Grand Prix in Qingdao, China, on Sunday.
The 35-year-old Czech won three of his four bouts, losing only to Japan's Hyoga Ota in the semi-finals before defeating Azerbaijan's Jamal Gamzatchanov in the bronze-medal contest. The result improves on last week's fifth-place finish at the Grand Slam in Ulaanbaatar.
