Czechia's National Security Council took note of a new strategy for the country's army at a meeting on Tuesday.

Miroslav Hlavac, Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, told reporters after the roughly three-hour session.

The document, said to be in place until 2040, outlines the priorities for building the armed forces, their future structure and the development of capabilities necessary for the defense of the Czech Republic and the fulfillment of alliance commitments.

It will replace a strategy put in place by the previous government.

The National Security Council meeting was also attended by President Petro Pavel.

A broad coalition, not including government leaders, has been agreed in Brno following recent municipal elections.

Jakub Hruska of Winners, the Christian Democrats, will lead a city government that also includes the mayors, an alliance of the Civic Democrats, Topo 9 and Independents, and three other parties.


Anna Ponomaryova made the comment last week at a meeting at the Prague headquarters of the Communist Party, Newsite said.

She was responding to a question from a Czech supporter of Russia who asked why Moscow had only recently begun bombing Kiev's major bridges across the Dnipro River.

The government has unanimously approved an amendment to the rules governing the funding and professional standards of teaching assistants.

Education Minister Robert Plaga, nominated by ANO, said the changes were intended to address ineffective aspects of inclusive education, particularly the widespread allocation of teaching assistants to individual pupils.

The amendment incorporated proposed changes by the junior coalition parties, Freedom and Direct Democracy and the motorists who are opposed to the concept of inclusive education.

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has called on the media to avoid taking information out of context, manipulating public opinion and engaging in personal attacks.

The prime minister said the appeal was addressed to editors-in-chief of Czech media outlets, regardless of their ownership, structure or editorial focus.

He stressed that it was their responsibility to ensure the media apply the same high standards to themselves as they demand of politicians.

In early October, editors-in-chief published a statement criticizing the ruling party's frequent attacks against the free press, protesting against restrictions to access to information for some media outlets, and stressing that free media are an important part of a democratic society.

Awards were presented at the gala opening of the annual Pre-Bohemia Festival of Radio in Olomouc on Monday evening.
