Prague gets first milk vending machine

The first milk vending machine in Prague went into operation at the city’s Park Hostivař shopping centre on Tuesday morning. A litre of fresh milk costs 20 crowns, with a plastic bottle costing five crowns more. On Monday the country’s chief hygiene officer, Michal Vít, pointed out that as the milk is unpasteurised it should be boiled before consumption. There are already dozens of other milk “automats” at other locations in the Czech Republic.
