Prague Mayor to Visit Taiwan With Czech Senate President

Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib announced that he will join a delegation to be led by Miloš Vystrčil, president of the Senate of the Czech Republic, on a visit to Taiwan later this month. Hrib said in a Facebook post earlier on Tuesday evening that he appreciated cross-party cooperation when it comes to a common cause and that deepening alliances with foreign partners was a good example of such cooperation. “I am honored that the President of the Senate, Miloš Vystrčil, invited me on his foreign trip to Taiwan,” the mayor said in the Facebook post. This will be Hřib’s second visit to Taiwan in less than 18 months. He previously visited in March 2019. According to Hřib, his upcoming itinerary in Taiwan will be a little different from the rest of the delegation. “I will also meet with representatives of the partner city of Taipei,” he said in the Facebook post. Led by Hřib, a vocal supporter of Taiwan and Tibet, the Prague city government terminated its sister city agreement with Beijing in favor of Taipei last year after a dispute over the removal of Beijing’s “one China” policy clause from the agreement.     If you are looking for...

The land along 28. října Street, referred to as Slza will welcome a 60-storey commercial and administrative centre with an adjacent hotel and apartments. Breaking up with the mining heritage of Ostrava An area of almost 8,300 square metres is being purchased by RT Torax for CZK 61.7 million including VAT. The decision to sell the land was made last year in spring, with a minimum offer price set at CZK 37 million  (1.38 million euros). The city required the building to have at least twelve floors and to comply with the applicable zoning plan and the basic functional and spatial regulatory conditions of January 2019.

The fire broke out at the 11th floor of a 13-story building in the town of Bohumin, on the Czech-Polish border. “There are three adults dead and three children in the apartment,” the head of the Moravian-Silesian fire brigade, Vladimír Vlček told the news site. Five other people died after jumping from the 12th floor, according to Interior Minister Jan Hamáček, who spoke to the Czech public radio.

Three Countries Tighten Coronavirus Restrictions Against Czech Republic

Three countries have decided to tighten measures for Czech citizens due to the epidemiological situation in the Czech Republic as the daily increase in coronavirus cases in recent weeks is about 200, much more than at the beginning of July. During Thursday night, Slovenia became the latest country to change the rules for Czechs and, suddenly, put the Czech Republic on the list of medium-risk countries. Upon entering the country, a two-week quarantine is mandatory for Czech citizens. If they only need to pass through the country, this restriction does not apply to them, but the transit must not exceed 12 hours, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on its website. On Thursday, Norway also imposed restrictions on the Czechs – they have to spend ten days in quarantine after entering the Scandinavian country. Oslo placed Czechia on the traffic-light system “red” list together with France, Switzerland, and Monaco. Norwegians are also advised to travel to these four countries only when necessary. Currently, Norway allows free travel to people from countries that have registered less than 20 coronavirus cases per 100,000 population in the last two weeks, which is not the case for the Czech Republic.
