Early Bird: Czech Republic without New Year's celebrations. Mass murderer awaits sentencing TikTok and Facebook sue governments

Czech Republic will welcome the New Year without fireworks or videomapping

Fireworks opponents can relax, videmapping fans are likely to cry. The capital city of Prague will not organize either for the celebrations of the coming of 2021. The reason is the desire for saving money in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, more efficient use of funds and uncertainty around possible preventive measures in the organisation of mass events.

"The organization of fireworks and pyrotechnics in general is dropped by many Western European metropolises. You can celebrate the arrival of the new year in other, more sophisticated ways that will not have negative impact on the environment or the animals in Prague, for whom this day is often very stressful,“

said the mayor of Prague Zdeněk Hřib.
