Police to increase security around Office of the Government

Police President Oldřich Martinů has proposed increasing security around the Office of the Government, in order to prevent incidents such as that which happened last week when Greenpeace activists climbed on the roof of the building to demonstrate against the planned extension of a coal-powered plant. The proposed measures include closing the street to trucks and making the pavement along the government building off limits to the public. The proposed measures still have to be discussed with Prague City Hall. The police has already increased the number of officers patrolling outside the building.
