The focus also remained on his public statements before the session began. The Prime Minister announced that from 13:00 h, live broadcasts from parliament are returning to public television and that MPs will decide on a significant reduction of his salary. The session thus continued a series of disputes over the functioning of parliament, public media and budget changes that the cabinet is pushing through following taking office. idnes.cz ↗

Further developments will depend on whether parliament accepts the proposed changes and whether personnel decisions regarding media oversight can also be finalized. The session will also show to what extent Magyarov's government can push through its first major parliamentary proposals. HVG ↗
