Czechs Now Paying Among Europe’s Highest Electricity Rates

Households in the Czech Republic now pay among the highest electricity rates in Europe, according to data from Eurostat covering 39 countries. Domestic users in Czechia paid approximately €317.9 per MWh (around 7,736 CZK including VAT) for the first half of 2025—placing the country sixth-highest in the ranking. The figure covers all components of consumer electricity bills, including commercial charges, regulated fees, taxes and levies. Czech authorities gather these figures through the Czech Statistical Office, which collects data from major energy suppliers covering over 90 % of small-consumer household customers. Only Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Italy and Ireland recorded higher nominal household electricity prices in that period. At the same time, Czechia’s average exceeds the EU-wide average of about €287.2 per MWh (≈ 6,982 CZK) and approaches the euro-area average of roughly €300.6 per MWh (≈ 7,308 CZK). That said, the comparison covers households of varying sizes and usage types. In Czechia, consumers who rely on electricity for heating and hot water pay a lower rate per MWh than those without those uses. If those households were excluded, Czechia’s ranking would drift down to 13th. In contrast, Austria and Germany make no such distinction in pricing between smaller and larger consumption...

Next Stop: Wenceslas Square — Prague’s New Tram Line Takes Shape

Work on extending the tram line from Vinohradská Street to the upper part of Wenceslas Square has entered a new phase. Near the National Museum, one of the main road lanes now runs directly over the future tram tracks, marking visible progress in one of Prague’s largest transport reconstruction projects. According to Prague Integrated Transport (PID), the reconfiguration is part of the major redesign of the junction between Legerova, Vinohradská, and Wenceslas Square. Since July, car traffic has been diverted to lanes previously reserved for trams. The tram connection between I. P. Pavlova and Muzeum stations remains suspended and will not resume until construction is completed in 2027. The demolition of the disused underpass and bridge beneath Legerova Street is one of the central elements of the project. Work began in June with the removal of a section of the old tram line, which now serves temporary car traffic. “Parts of the former underground spaces—originally designed as garages for the Federal Assembly in the 1980s—will be demolished and partially filled with drainage concrete,” explained Josef Richtr, deputy director of the Technical Administration of Roads (TSK). “Only a small section of the underpass will remain, later repurposed for park maintenance facilities.”...

Prague 2030: Driverless Metros, New Districts, and a Train to the Airport

Over the next decade, Prague will transform into one of Europe’s most modern capitals. A series of large-scale infrastructure projects — from new metro lines and bridges to redesigned train stations and neighborhoods — will reshape how people live and move across the city. 1. Smíchov Station: Prague’s New Transport Gateway The Smíchov Station reconstruction will create a modern, barrier-free transport hub with new platforms, underpasses, and a large bus terminal above the tracks. A new footbridge and promenade will directly link the station to surrounding streets, improving access between Smíchov and Radlice. Once completed, this area will become one of Prague’s most important transport junctions, integrating rail, metro, trams, buses, and pedestrian routes. 2. Smíchov City: A Modern Urban District Beside the station, the Smíchov City development is taking shape on the site of former rail yards. The project — already under construction — will include housing, offices, parks, and schools, turning the area into a fully functional urban neighborhood by 2032. The centerpiece will be Česká spořitelna’s new campus, four interconnected buildings spanning 75,000 square meters. A boulevard linking Smíchov Station with Na Knížecí will be named after Madeleine Albright, who was born in Smíchov. Other streets will...

Eggs and Milk Cost More Again — Czech Shoppers Face Rising Food Prices

Czech consumers are once again paying more for everyday groceries. The latest data from the Czech Statistical Office show that the prices of eggs and dairy products have climbed sharply in recent weeks, continuing a trend that began earlier this year. A carton of ten eggs now costs 67.19 CZK, which is 3.47 CZK more than in September and nearly 18 CZK higher than a year ago. The price has been steadily increasing since August and is now close to its highest point since May, when eggs peaked at 68.32 CZK. Industry experts warn that the situation could worsen in the coming years. Starting in 2027, cage farming will be banned in the Czech Republic — a change that could push prices up even further and reduce local egg production. The Czech-Moravian Poultry Association has cautioned that not all farmers will be able to switch to cage-free systems, potentially leading to greater reliance on imports. Producers say the rising prices are the result of multiple pressures — from higher energy and labor costs to the impact of avian flu outbreaks, expensive breeding material, and costly packaging. Dairy prices are also increasing. A liter of semi-skimmed milk now averages 27.80 CZK,...

What War Would Look Like in Prague — Activists Launch New Visual Campaign

What would the Czech capital look like if war reached its streets? That is the question posed by a new campaign from the organization Paměť národa, which seeks to remind Czechs that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing — and that peace cannot be taken for granted. Last week, the non-profit launched a series of visuals in Prague’s busiest public spaces, created in collaboration with the creative agency OAK. The campaign overlays everyday city scenes with realistic depictions of wartime destruction — cracked buildings, burned cars, and debris scattered across familiar streets. “In these familiar places, people encounter images of Prague as if it were struck by war,” the organization explained in its statement. The goal, it added, is to remind people that the conflict in Ukraine is not a distant story but a reality just beyond the Czech border. Tereza Svěráková, co-founder of the OAK agency, said she hopes the project will reignite public empathy and long-term engagement. “I’ve always been proud of how Czechs came together to help when the war began. But that solidarity must continue — supporting Ukraine also means strengthening our own security,” she said. Paměť národa emphasized that the campaign is not only...

New Survey: Czech Public Divided Over Military Aid to Ukraine

The Czech Republic is seeing a clear divide in public opinion regarding its support for Ukraine, especially when it comes to military assistance. According to different survey data, many Czechs remain in favour of humanitarian and economic support, but opposition is growing toward provisioning weapons and ammo. In one recent survey, approximately 40 percent of respondents said the new Czech government should end supplies of military equipment and ammunition to Ukraine. The same share (around 44 percent) believed that direct financial assistance should be halted. While this specific poll did not publicly detail its methodology, these figures echo broader findings indicating declining support for military aid. At the same time, non-military assistance retains strong backing. Around 70 percent of those polled support continuing to accept Ukrainian refugees into the Czech Republic, and about 76 percent favour sustained diplomatic and economic pressure on Russia. These numbers align with earlier research from the STEM Research Institute, which found that a narrow majority of Czechs believe the country should continue accepting Ukrainian refugees, although many also say the number of arrivals should be limited. Political analysts say the division over military aid has become something of a fault line between voters of parties...

On This Day, in 1918: the Independence of Czechoslovakia Was Proclaimed

On October 28, 1918, the independence of Czechoslovakia was proclaimed by the Czechoslovak National Council in Prague, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War. The birth of Czechoslovakia Throughout the 19th century, the rise of nationalist movements, mounting ethnic tensions and repressive religious and ethnic policies, such as the forced Magyarization of Slovaks, pushed the cohesion of the multi-national Austro-Hungarian Empire to its breaking point. Despite cultural differences, the Slovaks shared similar aspirations with the Czechs for independence from the Habsburg state, and by the start of the 20th century, the idea of a “Czecho-Slovak” entity, advocated by Czech and Slovak intellectuals began to emerge. During the First World War, Tomáš Masaryk, Edvard Beneš and Slovak astronomer Milan Rastislav Štefánik founded the Czechoslovak National Council who worked to secure Allied recognition. During that time, more than 90,000 Czech and Slovak volunteers formed the Czechoslovak Legions in Russia, France and Italy, where they fought against the Central Powers. Following the Pittsburgh Agreement of May 1918, which prescribed the intent to create an independent Czechoslovakia, the Czechoslovak Declaration of independence was signed by Masaryk, Štefánik and Beneš on October 18, 1918, in Paris. The independence of Czechoslovakia...

Prague Mystery: Stranger Throws CZK 120,000 at a Man and Disappears

A surreal scene took place on a playground in Prague, where an unknown man approached a passerby, threw a bundle of banknotes worth 120,000 CZK, uttered “No one will know,” and walked away without another word. The man immediately contacted the police, who later confirmed what had happened. According to the Prague City Police, the incident took place near a workout playground. The man who threw the money appeared to be under the influence of multiple substances. “When officers arrived, they divided tasks — one stayed with the man who reported the case, while the others began searching for the individual who threw the money,” police said on Facebook. Based on the witness’s description, officers tracked down the mysterious donor on Veslařský ostrov. The 38-year-old man admitted that he had indeed given the money away and didn’t care what became of it. Police administered a drug test, which revealed the presence of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, and alcohol in his system. After verifying the origin of the cash, officers determined that the money did not come from criminal activity. “The patrol returned the money to the man against a signature. He put it in his pocket — next to another...

First Snow and Strong Winds to Hit Czechia This Week

Czechia is bracing for the first snow of the season, with meteorologists warning of strong winds and up to 20 centimeters of snow in some mountain areas starting Monday. According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), a cold front will move across the country at the beginning of the week, bringing a sudden drop in temperatures and unstable weather conditions. The warning highlights a combination of heavy, wet snow and powerful gusts that could complicate travel and disrupt power supplies. Forecasters expect the heaviest snowfall at higher elevations — particularly above 900 meters — in the Šumava region, affecting areas near Prachatice, Klatovy, and Sušice. Roads in these regions could be covered with as much as 20 centimeters of snow. Meteorologists cautioned that wet snow could weigh down trees and power lines, increasing the risk of power outages and damage to forested areas. Drivers heading to mountain regions are urged to prepare for dangerous road conditions. “We recommend checking traffic updates before traveling, using full winter equipment, and carrying snow chains,” the ČHMÚ said. “Vehicles should have winter tires with sufficient tread, and in the mountains, drivers should follow the instructions of the Mountain Rescue Service.” The upcoming cold front...

Archaeologists Unearth 3,000-Year-Old Village in Czech Republic

Traces of a 3,000-year-old village were unearthed in Dašice (Pardubice District) during an investigation conducted ahead of a construction project, according to local report. Archaeologist Tomáš Zavoral of the East Bohemian Museum in Pardubice said that the settlement was semicircular in shape, and that it had a small square and a well lined with wood. Excavation of one of the dwellings revealed its possible entrance, columns, and a wall. Zavoral suggests that the structure had been made with coal and plant materials covered with clay. A masonry roof covered the home. Pottery, bones, and soil samples were collected from the site for dating and further analysis of the landscape. Head of research Kateřina Formánková explained that all findings are being thoroughly documented through drawings and photographs. In cases of particular interest, soil samples are collected for washing or laboratory analysis. The team also cooperates with specialists from other fields, such as natural scientists, who examine plant seeds to help determine the age of the site and what the local environment looked like at the time. According to Zavoral, however, the discovery in these locations was to be expected. Archaeologists frequently discover traces of settlement here. Most recently, two years ago,...

Benefits of Using Modern Tools for Institutional Software Access

Institutions rely heavily on digital systems for education, administration, and collaboration. Modern learning environments depend on reliable software delivery to ensure students and staff can access the resources they need without delay. Traditional computer labs once defined academic technology, but times have changed. Schools and universities now seek flexible, efficient, and secure ways to deliver applications anywhere, on any device. Modern tools for software access redefine that experience and support better outcomes for everyone involved. Improving Flexibility in Software Delivery Education no longer happens only in classrooms. Students expect to work on assignments from home, in libraries, or on the move. Modern access tools make that possible without complicated installations or hardware limitations. Institutions that adopt cloud-based application delivery systems allow users to reach software securely from any device. This flexibility improves participation and supports remote learning initiatives. Whether students work on a campus computer or a personal laptop, they experience the same functionality. Faculty members benefit from the same advantage when preparing lessons or managing grading software. Accessibility from multiple locations keeps productivity high and eliminates dependency on specific lab computers. Reducing IT Burden and Streamlining Management Institutional IT departments face growing demands with limited resources. Managing multiple software...
