Czech govt holidays start, ministers to meet on Aug 17

Unless the novel coronavirus outbreak requires an earlier meeting, the Czech government will meet again on August 17 as ministers go on holiday, cabinet's spokesman Vladimir Vorechovsky told CTK on Tuesday. During the summer break, Prime Minister Andrej Babis (ANO) will be substituted by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alena Schillerova (for ANO), who will also use the holidays to finalise the country's 2021 draft budget.
