Prague - Minister for Regional Development Klára Dostálová (for ANO) will meet today with the largest state investors regarding the upcoming construction law. Among those attending will be the CEO of ČEZ, Daniel Beneš, and the Chairman of the Board of ČEPS, Martin Durčák. Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlíček (for ANO) will also be present. The topics will include, among other things, the speed of the approval processes for large state investments such as highways, railways, or the planned new nuclear block.

The government expects the new construction law to significantly accelerate and simplify the approval of construction projects. According to World Bank data, the Czech Republic ranks 157th out of 190 countries in terms of obtaining building permits. The law is set to take effect at the beginning of next year. Its implementation, according to Dostálová, will occur gradually, with the latest deadline being mid-2023.

However, the regulation has many critics. The most common objections include that it favors developers and does not protect public interests.
