Babiš urges fuel distributors to cut prices as Czech fuel costs hit 3.5-year highPrime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) has called on major fuel distributors Orlen, MOL and OMV to lower fuel prices and not exploit the conflict in the Middle East. In a post on Facebook on Thursday, he said the situation should also be examined by the Office for the Protection of Competition (ÚOHS).
Fuel prices in the Czech Republic have climbed to their highest level in about three and a half years following the war in the Middle East, which began on 28 February. According to data from CCS, the average price of Natural 95 petrol rose by 2.40 crowns over the past week to 41.44 crowns per litre, while diesel increased by 4.75 crowns to an average of 47.90 crowns per litre.
Petrol is cheapest in the South Bohemian Region, while diesel costs least in the Zlín Region. The highest fuel prices in the country remain in Prague. Orlen said it operates in accordance with the law and that fuel prices are determined by the market.

Church representatives, accompanied by legal and forensic experts, exhumed an urn containing the remains of priest Václav Drbola at a cemetery in Starovičky in the Břeclav region on Thursday.
Drbola, who was executed during the communist regime, is set to be beatified. The process began with a ceremony in the Church of St Catherine before the urn was retrieved from the grave. Officials later confirmed the urn contained Drbola’s remains.
Drbola was executed by the communist authorities in August 1951 and later cremated. His ashes were meant to disappear without a trace, but funeral workers secretly preserved the urn. It was handed to his relatives during the Prague Spring and placed in a family grave in the 1980s.

A court in Chelyabinsk has banned the distribution of the Oscar-winning documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin in Russia, according to the independent outlet Mediazona, citing its reporter in the courtroom. Only the plaintiff’s side was represented at the hearing, while Russia’s state news agency TASS later reported on the ruling.
The Czech-Danish co-production, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, examines the spread of wartime propaganda in Russian schools during Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Prosecutors argued the film depicts “general militarisation” and expresses a “negative attitude” toward the “special military operation”, the term Moscow uses for its invasion of Ukraine. They also said the film is directed against the current Russian regime. Much of the footage was filmed by director and documentary participant Pavel Talankin, a former teacher in the town of Karabash in the Chelyabinsk region.

The Czech arms and engineering company Czechoslovak Group, or CSG, increased its net profit by 35.5 percent year on year to 872 million euros, or about 21.3 billion crowns, in 2025. The company, owned by businessman Michal Strnad, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of artillery ammunition. It announced the results on Thursday.
CSG said revenues rose by more than 70 percent to 6.7 billion euros, mainly due to strong demand for defence systems and ammunition. It also reported a record order backlog of 15 billion euros.
The company listed its shares on the Amsterdam stock exchange in January, raising about 3.8 billion euros, and expects further growth this year.

Czech tennis player Jiří Lehečka has reached the semi-finals of the Miami Open after defeating Spanish surprise package Martin Landaluce 7–6, 7–5. It is only the second time Lehečka has made the last four at a Masters tournament. He will face France’s Arthur Fils on Friday for a place in the final.
Lehečka’s run in Miami mirrors that of fellow Czech Karolína Muchová, who will play American Coco Gauff in the women’s semi-final. Both Czechs are hoping to follow in the footsteps of Jakub Menšík, who won the tournament in Florida in a surprise victory last year.
