Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka says Prime Minister Andrej Babiš will lead the Czech delegation to next week's NATO summit in Ankara. Speaking on CNN Prima News on Sunday, he also indicated that President Petr Pavel would attend the meeting, adding that the government would announce the final composition of the delegation on Monday.
The government and the president have been at odds for months over who should head the delegation. The government argues that defence spending, a key topic of the summit, falls within its remit. However, the Constitutional Court has ordered that President Pavel be accredited and provided with full support to attend.
According to Macinka, the court's interim ruling did not overturn the government's decision naming the prime minister as head of the delegation. Deputy Prime Minister Alena Schillerová said the court's decision must be respected and that the public would learn on Monday that the president had been accredited.

Czechia has experienced another tropical night, with temperatures remaining above 20 degrees Celsius at around 40 percent of weather stations, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute said on Sunday. At several locations, temperatures did not fall below 25 degrees, a rarity recorded at only a handful of stations since measurements began.
Forecasters say the night into Monday is likely to be even warmer, with overnight lows expected to stay between 19 and 24 degrees, and even higher in some places.
The heatwave is expected to continue on Sunday, with daytime temperatures reaching 35 to 40 degrees and locally up to 41. Saturday already brought a new national temperature record of 40.9 degrees Celsius in Doksany, surpassing the previous record by half a degree, subject to official confirmation.

The Czech urban search and rescue team has arrived in Venezuela and is setting up an operational base in the area hit by Wednesday's powerful earthquakes, the Czech Fire Rescue Service said on X on Sunday.
The 70-member team, accompanied by eight specially trained search dogs, flew from Prague on Saturday and reached Venezuela early on Sunday via Curaçao. Nineteen members of the team remain on Curaçao after being unable to board the onward flight. They are expected to join the rest of the team as soon as possible.
Before departing, team commander Petr Vodička said footage from the disaster zone suggested some people could still be trapped alive beneath collapsed buildings and that the Czech rescuers would do everything they could to reach them.

Czech poet, writer and art theorist Věra Linhartová, regarded as the founder of Czech experimental prose, has died in Paris at the age of 88. Her death was announced on Saturday.
Linhartová emerged as one of the leading voices of Czech experimental literature in the 1960s before leaving Czechoslovakia for France after the 1968 Soviet-led invasion. She went on to publish exclusively in French and also worked as an art historian and curator, including at Paris's Guimet Museum.
In 1998, she received the Jaroslav Seifert Prize, one of Czechia's most prestigious literary awards, for her collection of French-language prose Mes oubliettes.

František Wiendl, a Czech resistance fighter who opposed both the Nazi occupation and the communist regime, has died at the age of 102. His death was announced on Saturday by the Memory of Nations project, with his family saying he passed away late on Friday in a Prague hospital.
During the Second World War, Wiendl took part in the anti-Nazi resistance. After the communist takeover in 1948, he helped 28 people flee across the border to the West before being arrested in 1949. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison for treason and spent a decade behind bars, including six years performing forced labour in the uranium mines of Jáchymov.
Following the Velvet Revolution, Wiendl was rehabilitated and became honorary chairman of the Confederation of Political Prisoners, helping preserve the memory of those persecuted under the communist regime.
