At its meeting on 22 October 2025, the Government of the Czech Republic decided to establish a Committee on Drone Protection, Regulation and Development, which will be part of the State Security Council. Its task will be to coordinate ministries and experts in the development of drone technologies and protection against the risks posed by their use. Prime Minister Petr Fiala stressed that drones have great potential for the development of society, but they also pose serious security threats, as the war in Ukraine shows.
At the meeting, the government also approved designation of new national cultural monuments. Nine important Prague palaces, such as the Czernin, Tuscany and Clam-Gallas palaces, as well as churches and monuments in Sedlec near Kutná Hora, Klatovy and the Moravská Třebová Chateau will receive the highest level of protection.
The cabinet also appointed Petr Kuchar as the new Director of the Digital Information Agency (DIA). He will replace Martin Mesršmid, who resigned after problems with the e-Documents application during the elections.

The state will release CZK 47.46 million from this year's budget for the modification of routes for the transport of heavy loads. The total cost is estimated at almost CZK 3.9 billion.
