May 28: Live Q&A About Employment Trends After COVID-19

We are continuing our live Q&A sessions, again in cooperation with Prague Integration Courses. This time, we are bringing you another interesting topic: Employment trends after COVID-19 in the Czech Republic.  Our speaker will be Nicolo Amadio, Global Talent Acquisition Specialist from SEMrush. The COVID-19 outbreak has imposed significant changes in Prague society and we can’t deny that the job market has been affected. From employees being sent to work from home immediately, to some others having to be laid off. We see that COVID-19 has shown its presence in the Prague employment scene. How are the companies themselves reacting towards the changes coming? Will working from home become our compulsory new reality, or should we be present in the office only for significant meetings? Will Czech employers help us to adapt to our new reality, or even if our roles are needed in a post corona world, and will lunch breaks be mostly on ZOOM. Nicolo will discuss these topics in our 1 hour Q&A session that will take place on 28th of May 2020 at 2 PM on Prague Morning FB Page. Italian born and living in Prague for a few years, he is currently working as Global...

Czech Government Loosens Travel Restrictions

From Tuesday, May 26, all road and rail crossings on the borders with Austria and Germany will open, while measures preventing tourists from entering the Czech Republic remain in force. At Monday’s meeting, the Czech government approved the proposal of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Jan Hamáček (CSSD). Travellers must still also carry evidence of a negative COVID-19 test, and police will continue to conduct random checks, the ministry said. Hamáček said the country had negotiated reciprocal arrangements with the German and Austrian sides. “As part of the relaxation of conditions, checks at the borders with Germany and Austria will be random, and the police will not check every passenger,” said the ministry. Unauthorized entry into the country can be fined up to 1 million CZK. International airports in Brno, Ostrava, Karlovy Vary, Pardubice, and Prague-Kbely will renew flights within Schengen. From Wednesday, May 27, it will be possible to travel between the Czech Republic and Slovakia if people return within 48 hours. “It will be possible without tests and without quarantine,” wrote Prime Minister Andrej Babiš on Twitter. dir=”ltr”>Teď jsem mluvil se slovenským premiérem Igorem Matovičem a dohodli jsme se, že od středy 27.5. umožníme českým...

Armenian Ambassador to Czech Republic Comments On Turkish Statement

Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the Czech Republic H.E. Mr. Ashot Hovakimian released a comment on the statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey regarding the resolution passed by the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, condemning the Armenian Genocide. “This is neither the first nor the last official response of Turkey to the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Turkey resorts to yet another step at denying justice, thereby deepening the gap between itself and universal values. Denialism has no future regardless of the wrapping it comes in. The more efforts the Turkish authorities employ in denying the truth, the more the truth finds its way out, constituting public knowledge,” says the Ambassador. “On the famous Charles Bridge in Prague you can find statuary sculpted by Ferdinand Maxmilián Brokoff in 1714, honoring three sanctified knights, who saved Christian captives from the hands of the Ottomans in the Middle Ages. Below the statues of the knights one can find the statue of a Turk with a yataghan blade, guarding the imprisoned and suffering Christians. This statue has become the figure of many Prague legends and stories, whereas tourists are cautioned to pass by...

Just to name a few. We met the owner Petr Soukal for a quick interview. PM: Pizzeria Da Pietro has become a must for pizza lovers in the Czech Republic. Can you briefly summarize your story, how did you start? Petr: I started 4 years ago. At that time I didn’t know anything about pizza. I was running a shop with Italian products and I wanted a change because it wasn’t going so well. My friend and I decided to open a pizzeria. I went to Naples with my van and I studied how the real Neapolitan pizza is made. Then, I came back with a van full of products and a wood oven. After about two months of tests, we opened Pizzeria da Pietro...
