- When Environment Minister Anna Hubáčková (KDU-ČSL, EPP) resigned due to health reasons, she expected to be quickly replaced by her co-partisan Petr Hladík, but his nomination soon became complicated after he came under police scrutiny.
- The KDU-ČSL party, which should nominate the new environment minister, discussed the issue on Thursday and endorsed the nomination of Hladík for the ministerial position.
- The country has to replace the environmental minister as soon as possible, as the Czech Republic holds the Council of the EU Presidency.
