The Christian Democrats leader Jiri Cunek seems to never be off the front pages these days, with a constant flow of allegations concerning his investigation on suspicion of bribe-taking when he was mayor of a town in Moravia. On Tuesday there was at least a little good news for the beleaguered Mr Cunek, when he received the public backing of his party. But the question remains: can he ride out the storm?

Most European countries seem to agree on a speed limit of 130 km/hour or less on their motorways. The Czech Republic, however, may soon become the only country in Europe where the limit would be 160 km/hour. But that higher speed limit seems to be popular mainly among some Czech politicians - experts are less enthusiastic about the idea.

As we reported last month, the Supreme Court cancelled all previous rulings by lower courts that ordered the Czech state to hand over Prague's St Vitus Cathedral to the Roman Catholic Church. The administration of Prague Castle is now claiming the monument back. On Tuesday, the representatives of both parties met to discuss further steps.

Studying wine labels can be a daunting business if you are not a connoisseur and if you spend hours making up your mind what to select from your local wine-shop think how much harder things are for the blind, who would need to bring a friend or depend entirely on the shop assistant. Now a wine producer in Moravia has taken a step to change that. The Galant winery from Mikulov has started producing the first wine labels with letters in Braille. We spoke to one of the firm's co-owners Martin Marian to find out more about this pioneering endeavor

The Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek promised in Brussels on Tuesday that his country would not block talks on reviving a constitution for the European Union. Germany, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU, wants to get a new constitution approved in time for the next round of elections to the European Parliament in 2009. The Germans certainly have their work cut out - countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland and Britain are not keen on reviving the project, which was torpedoed by French and Dutch voters in 2005.

Prague's Olsanske cemetery is by far the largest graveyard in the city. It is the final resting place of over a million people, including many of the leading figures of the Czech national revival and scholars and artists. You can also find there the graves of Czech legionaries from the First World War, as well as Commonwealth and Russian soldiers who lost their lives on Czechoslovak territory during the Second World War.

There has been a great deal of talk in the last couple of months about US plans to build part of its anti-missile defence shield - a radar - here in the Czech Republic. Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek welcomes the idea, though the Czech government has yet to reach a decision on the issue. In the meantime, there have been a number of demonstrations against the radar base. Now, however, a new civic group has emerged with the title "we don't want radars, we want rockets". Is this some practical joke, or are they serious? That's a question I put to spokesman

Prague is famous for its mix of architectural styles, and you can sometimes meet centuries of different architecture in just one street. The city is not particularly well-known for modern architecture - but that should change in a few years, with the completion of an extremely unusual building by the Czech-born, London-based architect Jan Kaplicky.

Josef Koller is a collector of antique prints who has devoted much of his life to finding rare and valuable books. During a recent stroll through Vienna, he walked into a little bookstore tucked away in one of the city's narrow streets. And there, resting - almost forgotten - on a dusty shelf lay one of the most important pedagogical works of the 17th century.

Ask any tourist about his impressions of Prague and you will get answers like beautiful architecture, beautiful women, great beer, and...expensive taxis. City Hall has been fighting a seemingly endless battle to stop taxi drivers from overcharging. But now the dispute between the drivers and the authorities has reached an entirely new level and one man has even ended up in hospital.
