Czech news in brief for June 29: Monday's top afternoon headlines

The government is set to reveal the final composition of Czechia's delegation to the upcoming NATO summit after its cabinet meeting later this afternoon. The long-awaited announcement follows a week of escalation between the three-party ruling coalition and President Petr Pavel over who will lead the delegation next week in Ankara, Turkey.

A quick reminder. The government last week said they didn't expect Pavel to be part of the delegation, leading the president to file a constitutional lawsuit. Within days, the Constitutional Court issued a preliminary injunction ordering the government to include the head of state, but it is still slightly unclear who will officially lead the Czech delegation, and how roles and attendance will be divvied up during the summit.

Although overall crime figures remained roughly at the same level in 2025 as the year before, more violent cases are increasing, especially among children and younger teenagers, according to the latest report from the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office (NSZ). Top state prosecutor Lenka Bradáčová had already warned about the worrying phenomenon when she took office last year.

Experiential violence. Part of the increase is linked to the growing trend of so-called experiential violence, according to NSZ, when children and adolescents commit violent acts as a way to experience new sensations or push one's limits and boundaries.

Every Tuesday starting this week, Bio Oko in Prague 7 will screen some of the best movies starring cinema's darling star Keanu Reeves. The "Summer with Keanu Reeves" cycle kicks off tomorrow with Speed, followed by Devil's Advocate, A Scanner Darkly, Point Break and more in the following weeks.

After almost nine years in Karel Prager's iconic Cubes located close to the Emmaus monastery, Prague's Center for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP) closed its doors yesterday as the iconic Brutalist building undergoes its first major renovation since its completion in 1973. CAMP is now moving to new premises in a former boat repair factory on Karlín's Pobřežní.

When to visit. CAMP will maintain a limited program throughout the summer before fully reopening in the autumn. Visit their website for more information.

The metro line C will be closed for a week from Saturday between the stations Nádraží Holešovice and Pražského povstání, the Prague Transport Company announced. Effective from July 4-10, the closure is due to modernization works of the security equipment. A replacement bus service following the metro's route will operate during that time.
